    What is this? (maybe TMI)

    So I'm 21 weeks and have noticed this weird "discharge" for the last week or so.

    When I wipe it almost looks like I have blown my snotty nose on the toilet paper instead.

    The colour is hard to describe, maybe slightly yellow? (tmi sorry) but definitely reminds me of a snotty nose

    Do I have anything to worry about? I honestly can't remember my pg with DD but really don't think I had this. I do constantly feel "wet" down there to the point that I have to wear liners and change them.

    I should add it doesn't obviously smell (not that I've stuck it up to my nose and purposely smelt it).

    My next midwife appt is mid April so still ages away

    Thanks in advance

    Ah the joys of pregnancy
    Yeah, it's pretty normal to get some vaginal snot
    Happening haha! As long as there is no smell it's doubtful it's anything to worry about

    sounds normal to me but if you see any unusual colour or there is an odour/pain then it could be worth phoning your midwife and getting an earlier appointment.

    That made me giggle - vaginal snot!

    I can't remember anything with my pg with DD so I feel like a first time mum!

    I've had a lot of pain (and 6 scans) but no one can tell me why. Feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife on my right hand side (been hospitalized once and on bed rest for a week)

    Thanks for the reassurance ladies (I feel so stupid)

    does the pain only last for a brief amount of time... it could be the ligaments and uterus stretching... I found it quite sore around 19-21 weeks

    I've had the pain for hour at a time since 9 weeks. I had a suspected perforated uterus last year but they can't confirm anything (and nothing showing on ultrasound)
    Plus now the little man likes to curl up in the corner right where it hurts, so I often have to nudge him out!

    Went to the loo again and OMG there was so much "snot". It's definitely not white or clear but has a tinge to it.
