Scared...

After I pee-d, there was this odd light brownish, thick (almost, TMI, "jelly -like") substance when I wiped. What's this? I'm pretty freaked out. Could it just be an infection? Thoughts, please...

Its not uncommon to have a little spotting while pregnant.. the only time to be concerned is if its bright red and there are cramps along with it!! If it was just a brown glob, then try not to stress!! Just mention it to your doctor next time you are there!! :):)

It was more white, than brown. It was more tan. I'm thinking it might be a yeast infection... But I can't stop worrying. Everything I post here is pretty much me worrying. Ahh, I'm hopeless. :smt022

Tiffany, we all worry when we're pregnant (and then when the little darlings are born we keep right on worrying). I used to get a tiny bit of brownish discharge after BDing when I was pregnant last time. When I asked the midwife about it she said that it was probably just a tiny bit of blood from the cervix so it wasn't a worry. If its bright red or has clots in it then you should get to a Dr ASAP. It might be worth making an appointment with your care provider so they can check it out and put your mind at ease a bit.

Thank you, datchlostar. You're right about the worrying part; it's never going to stop. But after the baby's born... I'm going to feel so relieved. The idea of losing a precious child is unbearable. Now that I'm not freaking out, and nice and calm, I'm pretty sure everything's fine. I don't have any pains (other than the hungry tummy I'm now feeding large amounts of yogurt to). Just need to stay optomistic. :)

Again, thanks. This site is so helpful!

glad you are feeling better about it tiffany. i have had slight discolouration quite a bit during pg, not to mention more CM than ever before also.

Hi :D

I had light bronish discharge when i wiped at 5 weeks and of course I panicked and expected the worst, bt nothing else happened. My doctor told me that it is perfectly normal and told me to stop scrutinising the toilet paper every time I go to the toilet, the only time you need to worry is if there is bright red blood and you are cramping.

I'm sure its just normal for you
