    Red face Diahrea and leaking in the third trimester

    hi there im a newby in here,

    Im only 32 weeks so i know that i cant be starting labour or anything like that but i have been experiencing some problems

    I have been getting diahrea lately for say the past week and a half, just wondering if this is supposed to be normal?
    Also i have noticed that my underwear seem to be getting wet more often, its not heaps just a little but i have to wear panty liners everyday now?

    Any ideas

    I don't know if this helps but I am 34 weeks and I have had 'the runs' so to speak for at least the last 2 weeks and also i have been vommitting on and off aswell. I don't have a virus or anything but I asked my OB and he doesn't seemed concerned. I think this is just another 'joy' of pregnancy in the last trimester. I have to say I am not enjoying this last trimester at all!! I can hardly walk on top of everything else that is going on. I hope it helps knowing that someone else is going through something similar.

    I would let your carers know as an increase in fluid may mean you are slowly leaking amniotic fluid and it is best to check. I had the same thing at around 31 weeks with my first pregnancy and it wasn't anything but they felt it was best to check because it was consistent every day. Good luck.

    Yep, me too. I have had loose bowels for a few week and more cm (cervial mucous) too and have taken to wearing pany liners. One thing I would say is try to get the breathable liners (it says on the packet) to try to prevent thrush. And I would also mention it to your Dr or midwife.
