TMI - discharge..

Sorry if you read this and it grosses you out.... but I have to ask...

Over the past few weeks my CM has increased which I have been told should be expected... so that was fine! BUT then last night I felt very wet down there all night. I ended up putting a pad on and there was 'nothing' on there like CM but it was wet... and it didnt smell like urine. (Not sure what it smelt like to be honest). I haven't had that problem again today but I have had A LOT of CM and also what I have gathered to be part of my MP. It was clear and long and snotty like (I am so sorry guys!!) there was no blood or anything... is this just my body preparing for labour??

How many weeks are you?
It could possibly be your waters starting to break, I've heard of people experiencing more of a little trickle than a big gush before?
That's all I can think of really.

I am 33wks and 3 days. I thought about it being my waters but I haven't really had anything else like that today so it makes me think that it isn't that?!?!

This whole pregnancy thing is confusing I tell you!!:lol:

Hi Daniellec
It could have been a hind water leak. This is a small hole high up in your amniotic sack that is letting some of your waters leak. This is not a problem if it stops. (the hole often repairs its self). Your baby and your body will produce more amniotic fluid (your waters) throughout your pregnancy. The thick CM that you describe so well does sound like it is part of your MP. It is not unusual to start to loose your MP a few weeks before you go into labour.
I hope this answers your question.

Thanks for that Alan, it does answer my question!

All of these different things happening to my body is so much to take in (as it has never happened to me before!).

Yes it can be a little confusing and very scary for a first time mum
