Q: Increased Discharge
asked by: fairytale007 on October 19th, 2007

I was just wondering if increased discharge might be a sign that labor is within a few weeks away? Or if it's just common to have it increase the farther along you are. Sorry if TMI, but up until a few days ago, I've never had that much, and now it's like soaking my underwear. Sad
I'm 34 weeks.


Thanks.

That is simple. Yes and no. It can. But doesn't necessarily.

Considering you are 34 weeks, I'd say you have another 6 weeks. Don't count on going sooner, because then if you don't, you'll feel sad and disappointed. No one wants to be sad and disappointed during this special time.

Pantyliners. Wear pantyliners. It helps so much to change them out instead of changing undies.

Thanks Ingi! I think I've some what given up on the thought on going early even though my mom swears that I will and she keeps telling me that he'll be here by Halloween.

Yeah, my doctor told me I was going to go early too. And he kept telling me that at every single appointment towards the end.

Then I went OVERDUE! And I so would not wish that on anyone - that rotten, icky feeling that I had somehow failed.

Don't focus on early, focus on a Perfect Baby instead Smile

Yeah, my doctor hasn't told me anything for either going early or late.
I'm so hoping for Dante to be healthy when he's born...that's all I care about. I've been so worried lately about him possibly having CF, and the cyst on his kidney that they found during an ultrasound.
Not to mention that I'm anemic, so that can't possibly help him healthwise. I dunno if me having low platelet affects him any, but that worries me too.

Wednesday I should get my results back from that antiplatelet antibody test. *sigh* I worry too much.
