    Aren't hormones great! They turn us into a mucous producing machine

    My CM went a bit like this for my whole pregnancy.

    If you are at all worried about it get it checked - there is a swab that they can do to check if fluid is amniotic fluid or not.

    yup- definately get it checked- being such a high volume of fluid I would get it checked

    I have a similar sort of thing... Not quite as excessive, but still enough to be uncomfortable.

    I thought it was just me.

    I'd be asking someone (and I will be at my next appt!). Let me know how you go!

    My midwife told me excess cm is normal but it should not run down your leg and i found that to be not quiet true this is my 5th baby and i most certainly have had the flood of cm from time to time mostly if i have been sitting for long periods of time it seems to pool a little then you get up an eeewwww yuk! run to the loo.

    Not sure hun, I've had a bit of CM too. I'm sure all is fine but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    I had it like you and ended up wearing a pad through almost all my last pregnancy...however I also measured to have an abnormally large amount of amniotic fluid...whatever it was, P was born perfectly healthy, so I didn't worry!
