    Discharge... How much is too much?

    Okay so another question from me...

    How much watery discharge is too much watery discharge?

    I mentioned it to the midwife yesterday and she said it's normal. But I'm sure today it's increase again.

    WARNING maybe TMI - I can feel it leave my body like little bubbles (not air) It's not constant but quite often. I can even feel it when laying down.

    Makes me feel dirty :-(

    Sure you're not leaking a bit of amniotic fluid??
    Sounds a bit suss to me....

    That is definitely something I would call the hospital about. If you are leaking, there is a risk of infection and that would worry me. But I have been known to be neurotic about that sort of thing...

    I've put on a pad and will keep and eye on it for the next few hours, they said that discharge is normal and as long as it's not filling a pad I should be fine and to let them know how I get on.

    Of course because I've brought it up in discussion it seems to have eased (always the way... perhaps I should ask earlier next time) however I have noticed that it tends to happen more when my pelvis is tilted forward... (trying not to slouch on the couch to ease back pain, and off the edge of the bed) although that doesn't explain why when I'm laying in bed I can still feel it.

    Just in case anyone else looks for this information, I called in again today due to the fact that it's turning thicker and white. I've been told that it's normal for it to get thicker however if I notice it getting thinner then to call them back and head in.
