Not sure what this is...

Hi all

For most of this pregnancy I've had a lot of clear, runny CM (sorry for the TMI!) to the point where I can sometimes feel it run down my leg.

Atleast I think it's CM, but then I got thinking maybe it could be an amniotic fluid leak, it's certainly that consistency? It's definitely not urine either...

Does anyone else have this?

Thanks

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!

Thanks for your replies, I have an appt next week so I might mention it then. Will let you know scon!

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.

oh my lordy, CM factory over here!!
it started abt 2 days after i had an amnio and i full pooed my pants and thought i was leaking!!
im wearing liners everyday because if i dnt and im out the wetness in my knickers causes awfull chaifing!!! runs down my legs aswell. never had it this bad with any of my other pregnancies

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!
