Watery Discharge
I was walking the other day and felt a little leak of something come out (kind of similiar to when you have AF but not nearly as much, sorry TMI). When I checked there was very watery CM but than it went away. That was several days ago but after reading someone's post on CM I'm kind of nervous although I do feel perfectly fine.
I do occassionally notice watery discharge but it's not a lot.
Should I be concerned?
ETA: I noticed it again this morning. It doesn't feel like a gush but just really wet (sorry, TMI). How can I tell if it's just clear watery discharge or if I am leaking fluid?
Update: It's just a few minutes later and I am dry, sorry TMI. WARNING TMI - It doesn't have a smell to it and when I put my hand there it looks like water on my fingertips. I also noticed this has happened two maybe even three times within the past week or so and is not consistent. I also noticed it only happens when I am walking or standing.
From what I described could it be discharge? I also ready something about leaking urine but it would smell like ammonia which it does not. I paged my OB last week due to BH contractions, I don't want to call her again for this if it is nothing. I am making myself crazy.

Re: Watery Discharge
It's probably just d/c but I would call the doctor just to make sure it's not fluid. It's not crazy! But I am sure you are fine!

Re: Watery Discharge
In lamaze we were told to empty our bladders fully, stand up and cough a few times. If you leak more fluid at that point it is most likely amniotic fluid and you should go to the hospital to be checked.

Re: Watery Discharge
I've had really bad discharge through most of my PG. And definitely from about 24-35 weeks I would get occassional "spurts". One was so bad that it completely soaked my pantyliner.
It was very watery and didn't really have an odor to it.
I called my OB and she sent me to L & D but it was just discharge.
She said the thing to look out for is if it spurts, you change your liner and then within 1/2 hour to 1 hour it's soaked again or you are still dripping.
If you get an occassional spurt, and then it's dry, most likely just discharge.

Re: Watery Discharge
Probably just discharge, but check with your doctor at your next visit. My swabbed me and checked me for a few things just in case..

I guess it was just d/c because it hasn't happened since. I also tried this and still dry so it looks like I have nothing to worry about.
Thanks ladies!
