Leaking Fluid?
Show your support
My discharge has really increased this last week (I’m 17 weeks) and I just seem a bit… idk how else to put it but sweatier down there so I’m now wearing a panty liner most days. If you are worried no harm in phoning your midwife but all the stuff I’ve read tells me the increase is normal. Someone on reddit called it swamp vag 😅😂
@Callie thank you! It feels different than discharge has felt but apart from that I’ve not felt anything else.. it’s so weird isn’t it!
An increase is normal but if you’re worried, please phone your triage/midwife - a quick swab can determine if it’s anything to worry about
It could be thrush, in pregnancy it's common and you don't get the itching (not always) due to change in pH. Was told this by a doctor
Please go to the gynecology triage unit/hospital they will do a test to see if it is fluid. I had this at 12 weeks and it was confirmed PPROM (premature preterm rupture of membranes) if it is fluid at this gestation it can be dangerous to you and babes. X
One of the apps I have (I wanna say baby centre) did say in the last couple of weeks that vaginal discharge increased around this time so I’m sure it’s perfectly normal as long as it doesn’t smell and isn’t a weird colour.
Do you have any other symptoms? I thought I was leaking fluid my last pregnancy around 28 weeks. I got checked at the birthing unit and they said it was thrush that was causing it, I had no typical symptoms of so when I was waking up with wet pants I was freaking out🤣 deffo mention to a midwife
It could be discharge, mines increased a bunch since being pregnant!
