    Question WARNING TMI - Is this normal? Does this stop after baby comes??

    BAsically from the beginning of this pregnancy I've had a discharge - i end up going through anywhere between2 -5 panty liners a day. It's like a thickish, creamy looking discharge. I've also tendered to leak allot of urine this pregnancy. I've mentioned it to my doctor and he doesn't seem worried about it. I didn't have anything like this with DD so it's strange feeling. It'ss extremely uncomfortable also because I feel like i'm constantly wet down there.

    Does this get better or stop when baby comes? I do lots of pelvic floor stuff (especially when i feel myself leaking again) I remember my old doctor (shes no mat leave hence why I have a new one this pregnancy) mentioned something about my bladder moving lower at my 6 week check up with DD - could this have something to do with it? It's absolutly doing my head in

    I too had a lot of discharge - especially near the end of my pg. I ended up with a dry birth because I had trickled away my 'waters' in the days leading up to labour... I thought there was a LOT of fluid

    Yes - I'm perfectly normal now - well, in the fluid department anyway!

    Oh you poor thing, I know how you feel! I have been getting a fair bit of discharge throughout this pregnancy, but a few weeks ago it turned very watery and I was just soaking my underwear... It is a horrible feeling, I know jus what you mean! I mentioned it to my GP, who whicked me off to my OB straight away, everyone was relieved to find out if wasn't my waters leaking which they had thought may have been the prob. Down side is it's not liely to get any better between now and having bubby Not a nice feeling at all.
    My OB assures me for some women it is completely normal to have a lot of discharge throughout their pregnancy and it will go away post birth.... Thankgoodness for that!!! hehehe
    Not too much longer and it will be all gone!

    Sorry can't help with the wee prob, hope that gets better for you!

    I had this problem too and it was awful. I ended up wearing pads all the time because it helped to keep me drier down there. HTH

    BTW it all went away after I had bubs.

    I hear u- i have a lot as well, its very annoying to be always wet there, i am sure it will return to normal after our bubs are born, its the hormones providing extra protection and cleaning down there

    its gross i know
