It's funny you mention that actually... just yesterday I noticed mine was actually changing in consistancy. Which I was use to prepregnancy, I always knew where I was in my cycle due to my discharge. But with this pregnancy it has been mainly watery... and I never really knew if it was just some pee (gross I know) from her pushing on my bladder or actual watery discharge. But yesterday it turned more whiteish... I was concerned with a yeast infection... but I have no other symptoms! Im not itching and it doesn't burn at all! If it weren't for the discharge I would have no reason to be concerned.
I would definitely mention it to your midwife and see what she says. I have heard if the watery type gets to be more you should ask the dr or midwife as it could be amniotic fluid and preterm labor. (Sometimes I hate google! lol) It's hard not knowing whats going on with our bodies!!!! And when we should worry... Im sure everything is fine but definitely mention it to her

Yeah it's very odd because what's 'normal' for me is a thinish clear/white discharge, sometimes it gets thicker, like you say pre-pregnancy it would tell me where I am in my cycle, and whenever I talked about it pre-pregnancy to a doctor, a white non-offensive discharge was normal, as I also had a test for any infections which came back negative. During pregnancy however, it has been a bit more watery like you say, sometimes clear, but when it comes out with a bit more volume it would be white too. But you are right sometimes I think, oh god, I hope that wasn't leaking fluid or anything lol! (or pee! haha)

But in regards to yours, I was always told if it's not really thick and itchy and burning etc then it's normal, clear/white and even slightly yellow is normal, but anything else like green or grey etc is a sign of infection, I suppose all women are different so we'd have to get any concerns checked out on an individual basis to determine if anything's wrong, as what's normal for one woman may not be for another. So I'll keep an eye on it and make a note of how it is, and then mention it on thursday, I am feeling a lot of pressure from baby moving down low, so it may just be baby pushing a bit more out in that region! lol I'd like to see if she can tell the position of the baby as sometimes I feel that baby is soooo low, how can they baby not be engaged already??! Feels like a hand or foot could emerge at any min! lol I'm not too concerned about it at this stage though as i've had no pain or any other symptoms that make me think otherwise xxx

I didn't realise that about increase in discharge being a sign of labour! I've had an increase through a lot of the pregnancy anyway but it's always been fairly watery so not really thought anything of it. Probably worth mentioning to the midwife on Thursday though just to be sure - you'll have to let us know what she says!

Hope you've both had a good weekend Fay, is Mike home now?

Tara, sorry it's a bit late but happy 32 weeks!

Yeah I know, I didn't realise either until I read that bit of info from Emma's diary for 31 weeks, yeah mine's increased during pregnancy but just over the last week or so maybe slightly more, I was thinking maybe it's because baby was kicking me a lot in the cervix area causing more to come away and out? lol But I don't know? I'll see what she says on thurs.

Yes mike is home now!! yay! thank goodness, it's so nice to have him home and he was also sooo glad to be back! He's had a miserable few weeks on this course and being away from home at the wknds, so it's lovely now

I'm just off for a swim, hope you ladies have a lovely day xxx

I'm glad that Mike is home Will he be home for awhile now? I know you said he's leaving again but I can't remember when. Enjoy your swim!!!!

Happy 32 weeks Ali!!!!!

Have a great day ladies!

Thank you Yeah he's only home for 2 weeks then away again for 2 weeks, and fingers crossed that will be that for a while at least, (well it better be, as i'll be due after that! lol and i'm not letting him go anywhere!! lol)

Swim was good thanks, although it was the army swimming pool on the camp (as it's free) and I was the only one in there! lol Felt really awkward though as it felt like the lifeguard was just watching me the whole time! lol eeek! xxx

I bet that would feel awkward! Glad you had a good swim though OH and happy 31 weeks to you!! I just realized it

Aww thanks

So are either of you experiencing braxton hicks yet? I have heard that they can start as early as second trimester but I haven't had any sign of anything like that yet x

idk to be honest. Sometimes I think maybe it's a BH but then other times I think it's just her pushing REALLY low and it's a bit painful for a minute. I really think it's more that then a BH but Im not sure lol. You would think I would know since I've had a baby before but I don't ever remember experiencing BH with Avery either... I remember you mentioning how low your LO is sometimes and I don't think I ever commented on that. I know EXACTLY what you mean. Sometimes I feel like she is READY to come bursting out! The pressure so low, my gosh!!!!! I hope that means things will start earlier rather than later but who knows.

Yeah I know what you mean, and i've been reading up a little bit on BH and i'm thinking maybe I have been getting a few, but then again like you said i'm not really sure if it's a BH or just pressure from baby, or muscles stretching etc? But I would wake up remembering I felt some mild cramps right under my bump, but nothing bad enough to think it was anything to pay attention too, like I said I just thought it was my muscles stretching or something, but BH can be painless and mild cramp like, so could be? I suppose I'll pay a bit more attention to any aches and pains now to see if it could fit in with the symptoms of BH. How crazy is this though, I read that BH start from 6 weeks in pregnancy!! 6?!! lol But they are never felt at that stage and are just preparing uterus for later on. Seems crazy that they can start that early without us even realising! lol

But yeah I'm defo intrigued in baby's position, cause sometimes I think, the activity is sooooo low that maybe baby's starting to engage? I'll have to read up about that and see how early baby's can start to engage from? Surely I would think i'd be far too early, so i'll have to see what info I come across. xxx
