Discharge (sorry if its TMI)

[first_time_mummy]

hello ladies.
I was wondering if its normal to have discharge?
I have had it for the past 4 weeks or so, im nearly 20 weeks now.
I get it in my knickers every day, and especially after i go to the toilet to urinate. Once i leave the bathroom after doing my business, i feel a big gush (a bit like the period blood feeling) but when i look its a clearish white discharge.
I wipe it away and there is always a fair bit (maybe a table spoon or so)

Is it normal to have this discharge at my point in pregnncy, why am i hving a discharge?
My mum said she doesnt remeber having it when she was pregnant with her kids, but i was just wondering if anyone else may have it and whether or not its normal??

thanks for your time and answers

Hi, from what i remember i had alot of discharge early also. SOme people do and others dont so you are perfetly normal. I would get big gushes sometimes (when i was a bit further along though) and i would worry it was amniotic fluid (which it wasnt) - but yes - there was heaps. Panty liners didnt cut it for me, i needed to use slim pads and change them quite frequently.

I have had this also, I just wear panty liners so i always feel fresh. I was told that it is normal. I did on one occasion loose some ammniotic fluid though but all was good.

F_T_M: i am having the same thing as you (so good to have someone so close in weeks ) but ive pretty much had discharge the whole time (that was one of the first signs for me i think) i wear panty liners everyday now, if your concerned tho, go see your doc

VERY normal honey! Get used to it and buy yourself a nice stash of panty liners. Always keep some in your handbag too.

If you get itchy or the discharge smells, get yourself to the doctor as it could be thrush.

Enjoy yet another wonder of pregnany - LOL!

I get this too and have pretty much had it right from the start, I hear it gets worse the further along you get! I just wear panty liners every day. What you've described sounds completely normal, so as long as there is nothing offensive to the discharge (eg odour, colour) I wouldn't stress, just stock up on panty liners!

ohok...i might give liners a shot. its not all the time, sometimes its only once a day, sometimes maybe once every two days.
It was just worrying me a little as to why i ad it.
My mum said if its a greenish yellow colour it could be an infection such as thrush etc, however it is definately clearish white. so i think it should be ok, i hope
