Can anyone help ? :)

Hi ladies, well I am 26+1 and for the last week or so I've had really bad discharge and it's quite thick looking (sorry TMI) just wondering what it could be?? Don't remember anything like this with my son at 26 weeks.. anybody have any ideas

Also my bump has been SO itchy, I thought this could just be down to stretching and as my skin is very dry and sensitive thought it may be that.. I suffer from eczema although have none on my bump.. again I don't remember anything like this with my first .. do you think it may just be the stretching?

Thanks in advance! xx

Hi,
I've been getting this too, I've read that it's normal to get increased CM due to increased blood flow 'down there'. If it smells funny or you itch I would get it checked out but otherwise think it's a common thing. Haven't really had itchy bump yet but now is the time where baby is building up fat and u will put on most weight so it's probably your skin stretching xx

Im not sure about the cm, but the itching is normal and from your skin stretching. Get a really good lotion to rub on there. I got the Palmer's intense moisturizing lotion for itchy skin and it really helps.

I have had both and I believe they are both normal

Keep that bump moisturised! Dry itchy skin increases the chance of stretch marks. The softer the skin the more elastic it is. If you can't use lotions because of your eczema, try something like alpha-kerie oil. As for the discharge its pretty normal. Use flushable wipes instead of toilet paper to stay fresh.
