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!
