Did you have an increase in discharge around 38 weeks??

[WanaBaba]

Hey

I am 38+5 and lately i have had quite a bit of increase in dishcarge, i have also noticed that it has been more watery and i can actually feel it drip out I dont mean a constant leak but more like ill be standing doing something and all of a sudden feel a bit of 'water' drip out and it will leave a wet patch in my underwear (sorry tmi) about the size of....erm....an egg haha sorry thats all i can think of in terms of what size it is! It is clear and doesn't really have any smell! Anyway this has happened a few times now but about ten mins ago i felt wet so went to check and it was really creamy/milky but didnt feel it drip out that time....

Just wondering if it's normal really.... thanks xx

I was having that kind of discharge at 30weeks and thought I was leaking fluids, but was told that my disharge was normal

This past week I have had a very noticable increase in discharge! It's gone from pretty much zero to staining my pj bottoms at night. Mine is an egg white colour, I think as long as it isn't green though (which is a sign of infection) then it's perfectly normal. According to my pregnancy book it is a sign of the cervix softening. x

I have like nothing at all! I actually started a thread about it a couple days ago, wondering if having none was normal. I would say your situation with having more would be normal. I am waiting for something to happen.

Omg I have it too... I already had an increase but this tops the cake! I deeply all the time and especially everytime after contractions!

I get this it use to go through my knickers and stain my trousers until I started wearing panty liners. and I am only 33weeks pregnant.

I've had this ever since i had a show a week ago.

My discharge has actually started to lessen these past few weeks Still more than I used to get... But yeah, I understand all sorts happens where discharge and pregnancy is concerned

 

[WanaBaba]

Well i had more of this when i got up this morning, it stained my whole underwear and a bit actually dripped down my legs!! Is this normal?

 

[jessabella]

you need to wear pantyliners dear..I wear them 24 hours...the more the cervix rippens the more it will discharge!

 

[Foxy89]

Definately get ya panty liners on lol

If I dont wear a panty liner it leaks through my knickers and sometimes through my trousers I am only 33+6

 

[WanaBaba]

Lol i have started wearing them just didn't have one on through the night as it hasn't been constant so thought it had stopped. I have had a lot of it today though so i am now wearing one

 

[WanaBaba]

I'm now having to wear a pad as it just soaks right through the panty liner, do you think this is normal? I really hope im not peeing myself or something

 

[WanaBaba]

Anyone??

 

[Blondie007]

Hi Wanababa. if it is soaking through pads, then this could definately be your waters. I have a lot more discharge but not that much.

How long did it take to soak the panty liner?

I reckon its worth a call to your MW x

 

[Luzelle]

Happened to me too. Just increased. If it increases more, go get it checked out, which is what I did. It was nothing. But when my water did break, it didn't come in a splash but in little gushes.

 

[WanaBaba]

Thanks i went to get it checked and midwife says she thinks its just an increase in discharge as it isn't a constant leak. I have to wear a maternity pad for the next 24 hours and ring her if it is wet x

I have noticed that since I've posted that, it's gone back to being a rather ridiculous amount

Are you having to wear a pad and is it watery? xx

 

[LauraBee]

I wear a liner, I don't think it's quite enough for a pad (I really dislike wearing pads) and yeah it's more watery than I have had but there's still some thickness to it, and it's still got a creamy colour too.
