Which is better - making love more or less often when trying to conceive?

My midwife's personal "get pregnant plan" is every other day because she says having sex every day instead of every other day doesn't increase chances of pregnancy. However, I've read things that say if you can do it everyday, they why not? If sperm count is normal, the sperm can stay alive for 2-3 days. I conceived 3 days before ovulation. Good luck!

I've had three missed miscarriages and three D&Cs.

With my second miscarriage I had the clots to describe - great lumps coming away over a few days. In my case this turned out to be an infection and I had to have a course of antibiotics.

As your bleeding is light now and you feel no pain I would go with the midwife's advice and go in if you have any more heavy bleeding.

This website is quite informative as to what has been done to you and what to expect afterwards:

At the bottom it describes the rare complications that occur.

That will totally depend on your specific situation and your midwife's typical methods. Some might do a sweep, some might not. You will just have to wait and see - nobody here can tell you for sure what the midwife will do! Keep in mind that your "due date" is only an estimation, and a typical full-term pregnancy can last from 37-42 weeks.

I know it sucks...you are uncomfortable and impatient. You want to meet your baby! But just chill out - I promise you won't be pregnant forever. Congrats!
