[alejungo]

Ok well today i'm 37 weeks 1 day with my first i went in two weeks early but here's my question the last couple days i've been having pains in my stomach but i'm thinking there BH because they feel like cramps but they go away and last night i had bad diareahh and throwing up with my stomach contracting so i think labor might be near but just right now i felt like a gush of somehting come out so i went to the bathroom and it was alot of discharge but what concerns me is that it was yellow it doesnt smell and it doens't itch or anything it was just yellow should i call my doc on this or is this normal, it's gross i know but you ladies always give great advice thanks

Update ladies i went in and they said my water had not broken but the nurses would not check to see if i have dialated at all, the discharge is there but its not yellow like it was that one time that the gush came out so i have no clue what that was but just discharge... i'm still getting contraction or i mean BH so will see, have any of you guys ever experienced contraction like feelings after you pee i get that alot now and i have to stay focused on something else after i pee because i swear it hurts .... well i was really disapointed with the hospital i really wanted to know if i had dialated

Did you ever call L&D?

If it was slimy like cm and yellow it's probably just discharge...BUT it if was more liquidy like urine but tinted darkish yellow or a darker color it could meconium stained amniotic fluid like someone else mentioned.   If you are unsure I would suggest at the very least calling your doc or going to  L & D.  IF it WAS your bag of waters breaking you don't want to wait...becuase the risk of infection greatly increases.  It would be better to go in and have them check and make sure it wasn't your amniotic fluid and be sent home than to wait and risk complications.

It could also be your mucous plug....when mine came out, I was about 38 weeks and I thought it was my water breaking, it was a lot. They say that is when you are geting close to delivery. I delivered 5 days later. However, I got induced with my son, and when my water broke, it was yellowish... not miconium though. it can be like a straw color. But I would still get it checked out. Good luck to you hun!

I am 38.6 weeks pregnant and I have been having the same discharge that you are mentioning, except I have not had it in a huge gush. I agree with the rest of the women and call your doctor or go to L&D. You are considered full term so you very well may be in labor. Best of Luck and keeep us posted.

Wow you guys really think i should call now i'm nervous,

I would seriously call your doc or go to L&D. Your water may have broke and the yellowish tint could be meconium which is babies first bowel movement, if baby inhales it in his lungs it can cause a lot of health issues.
