LOTS & LOTS of CM... normal??

Sorry if TMI...

I have been having this "feeling" down bellow and I have been loosing a heap of creamy white CM - is this normal at this stage of Preg?? (nearly 29 weeks??)

Freaking out that somthing bad is gunna happen!!

I am not sure how much is actually normal. I guess everyone is different. Some days I can be dry and some days I feel very wet and my nickers get a bit damp, but not enough to warrant a panty liner. Maybe ask your Ob next time.

Very normal to have a lot of cm in pg. Mine got worse with each pg too and started earlier into the pg. I found wearing a panty liner helped a lot and made me not so self conscious about it. Just try to make sure that you wear cotton knickers and preferably none at night so the skin down there can breathe better.

Thanks Trillian & Puppies

It has slowed down as such - Im just so paraniod about going into early labour and stuff... need to chill out!!

I found in both of my previous pregnancies, I had an over-abundance of the CM too. I needed to use a panty liner to feel better about it all. Apparently it's normal (and very annoying!!!)

very very normal. and.. it gets worse. much worse. ohhh so much mucous! yep i just had to gross u out! i cant believe ur nearly 30 weeks!!! i remember when u were right at the start! but anyhoo yes lotsa CM is normal. If it starts to smell or gets a little itchy down there it may indicate an infection..either thrush or a UTI.. oh isnt pregnancy fun! lol. 10 more weeks to go!! u go girl!! mwah xoxo

Thanks Hollye!
I cant believe im nearly 30 weeks either!! Time flys huh!
And your nearly 34 weeks!! WOW

it's always good to come across these kinda posts so you realise that what you're going through is normal :lol: specially when it's something a little on the personal side - thanks for bringing it up kate, ain't it crazy, we haven't got long to go now!!!

Perfectly normal. I used to get quite a bit of it and then I started to get HEAPS of clear. That really made me worry as I always wondered if it was amniotic fluid leaking. i was constantly changing nickers. It was never anything to worry about and I only went 1 week and 4 days early which of course isn't considered early at all.

Yeah, thanks for bringing it up ... this might just be the right place to ask ...

I have been getting some slightly coloured cm. Lots of clear cm (that does not really worry me), but it gets a light brownish tint, it does not itch and it does not smell .. other than cm normally smells. *TMI* It comes off clear when I wipe myself, but on the pantyliner it looks light brownish. Probably no need to worry right??

sounds like a little bit of old blood. nothing huge to worry about. if it continues ask ur doc at ur next appointment! HTH

Thanks Hollye. I have my next appointment the 9th October ... if it does not get worse, I'll just wait till then :)

I had my introduction to Antinatal Classes last night and the midwife talked about all that discharge and she said that heaps is normal - and it only gets worse the further allong you get!
Something to look fwd to huh girls!!

Kate

oh trust me Kate it does get worse.. wait till u are losing all these small clumps of mucous.. that will freak u out a little. still.... completley normal. if u dont have to change ur undies 2-3 times a day already then u are lucky!! lol
