clear watery discharge?

ok im 38 weeks and for 2 days im constantly damp, im not sure if its normal?:confused:
i had my baby turned on wednesday and then on friday it started, i havent called the midwives, not sure if i should:confused:

did you have a similar experiance:o

I would call them BJ. It might be nothing, but it could be your waters leaking. (hindwaters maybe)

I agree I would just take a quick trip to the hospital and get them to check as if it is your hind waters the last thing you want is for all the water to be gone and have a dry birth. ;)

i dont think its my waters, my stomach is still huge:D
plus bub isnt engaged or anywhere near having her head in my pelvis, so wouldnt it have been more of a gush?:confused:

i told my mum who used to be a midi, she said it might just be all the extra pressure since bub turned that might have just caused an increase in secretions:o

if it gets worse i'll go for sure, but till then im going to live in hope it might just be some of my plug coming away, i have a scan on friday so if it is my waters i'll know by then, but i think its the begining of my body starting to get ready for the big day:D i hope

I experienced this with my first pregnancy and am now getting some with this pregnancy. I didn't get it checked as I just assumed that it was just extra secretions like your mum said. However if you are worried I would get it checked. Goodluck for the next couple of weeks!

Hi, im 27 weeks and am constanly damp. I thought it might be a hole in my amniotic sac. I consulted my midwife and she assured me that it wasnt. Its your body telling you that it is very healthy and is fighting of infections and bacteria. Not everybody experiences it. It does have a name but i have totally forgotten it sorry. But i wouldnt worry about it. Lat

I would go and get checked out....it may be a hindwater leak in which case you don't experience a 'gush' and even when your 'waters' break your stomach doesn't just suddenly decrease in size......as for a 'dry birth' you are always producing amniotic fluid even if your waters were to break at 26weeks or so you can carry to term and still there is enough amniotic fluid for baby cause it is continually produced by your body.....If you have a hindwater leak and you don't have it checked out there is an increased risk of infection if the waters have broken for longer than 12-18hours....just a suggestion from a midwife to a pregnant woman..get it checked out it may be normal vaginal secretions, it may be urine, it may be amniotic fluid you don't know until they do a speculum examination and check....:ecomcity:

oh gee thanx girls...:hugs:

ive been wanting to post on here about similar to what some of you are saying,
but didnt want to use the word discharge [or worse.... l u b ri c a ti on!:o ] & confuse...
totally wrecking all my undies!
but
now youve said the right word - Excretion!! damp thanku :yelclap:

i have been panicing thinking i am slowly leaking amnio fluid..
as it seemed to start at the same time my early subchorionic haematoma did.. [9weeks?]

im still only almost 19 weeks & was really concerned next week at the scan there would be a bad sign... now i have a little more hope..

oh i love it how we can all help each other out..... :wave:
