Increase in discharge

**Mari626** · 10-16-2012, 07:09 AM

I'm no longer on hormones so what is coming out of me is solely mine! Sorry TMI...but Geez I've got myself an increase in discharge and it's so annoying because I keep freaking out thinking that I'm bleeding!!! It's clear, sometimes a little yellow. The other day it was a big glob of something very sticky and gross!!!! I've been reading online and it seems to be normal, anyone else??? I go next week to the OB so I'll be sure to ask. I just hate to run to the bathroom all the time now.

Yes, I believe that is completely normal. I get emails from WhattoExpect.com every week about fetal development and pregnancy week by week, and I believe that Week 13 dealt specifically with that very topic.

I would say that if things get too out of control, maybe try wearing a pantyliner.

Umm... yeah, I've had discharge the WHOLE time I've been pregnant. I've ruined many pairs of underwear before I got a thought to wear a panty liner. It's yellowish - my OB said white/yellow is fine, but it's probably more yellow because I'm dehydrated.

So yeah, totally in the same boat as you, but I already asked about it and everything was fine. She even said to not be surprised if it picks up even MORE than it is now..

And I was running to the bathroom probably weeks 5-12 because I'd feel the discharge and KNOW I was bleeding and run...and it was just discharge. It's highly annoying, but I always breathe a sigh of relief when I wipe. Because I'm almost 16 weeks and STILL get scared when I feel "alot" and I still stare at the toilet paper...

I sound like a crazy lady! LOL

Totally normal. But I got to admit, its gross! Pantiliners are a must.

and I am a chronic TP checker here as well. TP checkers Unite! lol

Me! Me! Me!

Hi, I'm Alissa, and I'm a TP checker.

It was kind of dim in the lady's room today, so I actually kind of held it up to the light to see...

In fairness to me, I had a SCH and had re-occuring spotting earlier in the pregnancy, which made me totally scared that I would spot the whole time. I am currently working on Day 30 with no spotting!!!

Yay for no spotting! Ive never spotted but I can only imagine how scary it is!!

As for the discharge.. I was actually worried for a while because I didnt have any.. By this time with my last pregnancies I was wearing liners. Its finally starting to pick up this week.. Weird, but ive never been so relieved! lol

I have a little, but not lots all the time. I do have lots when I sneeze or when I go #2. Sorry TMI. It's definitely made more of an appearance lately. I was completely dry early in my pregnancy.
