Discharge question...maybe TMI

[BTS1022]

Okay I am 36 weeks today....and the past 3 days I have noticed an increase of white thick *sorry* Chunky discharge. It only comes out after I pee and when I sit. I noticed it is also combines with watery discharge. Now I haven't had any issues with discharge for about 2 months now, up until 3 days ago. I don't think I have an infection because it doesn't hurt to pee, or any where near my bladder so not a UTI that I think. I am dilated to a 3 and have lost my whole plug, and I know your not supposed to take baths if you are dilated or lost your plug because of infection....but I can no longer fit in my seperate shower lol.

Is this discharge a sign of impending labor? Or could it be infection? I don't go back to the docs until the 22nd...my b-day.

Also I have noticed that I have really bad contractions when I first get out of bed or from laying down at all. I had some that knocked me on my rear after my nap....I also have contractions during a BM and after...same with going pee. Is anyone else experiancing this?

Im 36 weeks 3cm dilated and 100% effaced.

lol I get the same *when are you due* stuff too. And when I tell people im not due until October they are all OMG...doc has to be wrong....your having twins..ect.. and it's annoying lol. I had one lady stop me in walmart and ask me when I was due. I told her and she just stared at me like a weirdo lol. I got a bit freaked and walked as fast as I could back to hubby lol.

yeah when im walking in a grocery store i go normal walking speed and toward the end of shopping im serioulsy walking like a turtle and people are staring like omg is she ok..yesterday i was at a gas station and i went in for a drink and the lady a the register was like ok your ready when are you due yesterday?! i was like um no but thank you i guess i very obvious to the world.lol so yeah like you i dont go on my own either i take hubby also cuz of the pressure and i really dont want to fall or anything. yeah the swab in your rear on your b-day gosh how much worse or better can it get. your hubby better have a surprise for you.

Yup! Im going through the same stuff. I have really bad pressure..and it sometimes feels like a BM but it's just our angels being really low. I don't go grocery shopping on my own anymore. I make hubby come with me, because im scared either my water will break, or I get extremely sore down below, and my feet swell too. Sometimes to the point where I have to take my shoes off and go in socks lol.

And yup, the strep B test was up the rear lol, thats the only way I have ever had it done. I DREAD it, especially on my birthday, hubby better have a very nice present waiting for me at home lol.

It would be neat to have a September baby...but Hubby wants a halloween baby lol. I dont think I can keep this little bugger in for long, but then again they might just surprise us lol.

ya know i didint know that for the step b test they put it in your rear they didint do that to me and i had it done twice they put it in my vagina and it came back negative and my sister is also pregnant just further along and she had hers done last week and she had it in her rear she said why didint you tell me they do that i had no idea they didint do it to me...hmm makes me wonder.

i also want my lil one to cook for longer but like you said  he knows when hes ready..i think we are gonna be september mommies.lol Iam very miserable i cannot do anything with out my body aching it sometimes feels like my hips are gonna pop outta place cuz he is so low already and especailly after i take a nap omg i can get out of bed sometimes.but im to the point where i cant even go to the grocery store because i cant walk for a long period of time not even 20-25 min my feet feel like they are gonna fall off and it just hurts down there to walk..and i get alot of pressure in my rear.lol it hurts sometimes i think i need to go #2 and dont have to at 1 point i thought i was constipated lol and i wasnt it was tmi soft bm but the baby is just putting tons of pressure on my rear yikes i dont like it.lol

Betty....

Maybe we are close to having our babies! I was told by my step mom that it's our bodies and hormones preparing that *area* for delivery. Im kind of scared because I want him to cook a bit longer, but if he is ready then he is ready.

Im glad im not the only person going through this, I hate what im going through and I know how miserable you must be too, but im glad I have someone who I can relate to. My appointment is the 22nd, I havent started my 1 week stuff yet, so we will see.

I know I get my strep B test on my b-day....and im soooo not looking forward to having a huge cotton swab stuck up my rear lmao!

[betty12]

ya know i dont really have any answers for you because weird i know but we are going through alot of the same things...i also have the discharge you are discribing and yeah it is only after going pee or getting up i also have the contractions that you get when you first get outta bed or after taking a nap...i have know idea what this is but my doc apt is thurs so ill be asking..

[BTS1022]

Nope not a yeast infectio. Im not itchy or irritated in that area at all. Just a lot of heavy discharge. It isn't chuncky like i thought. I just went to the bathroom and had some. It anything does change however then I will call my doc.

Thank you

I didn't experience anything like that with my pregnancy, are you sure it's not a yeast infection? That would make that area very itchy. Yeast infections are very common in late pregnancy. I would call your doctor and tell them what's going on. They'll advise you on what to do. I wouldn't wait for your appt to ask about it. If it is an infection you don't want to go into labor with a yeast infection. It could cause the baby to get thrush during a vaginal birth. Good luck!
