Q: Change In Discharge At 23 Weeks

asked by: meaghan23 on April 24th, 2006

New User

I am 23 weeks pregnant, and over the past few days, I have noticed a change in the type, not necessarily the amount, of discharge I am having. Instead of being whitish and thin, it has changed to more of a mucous-like substance, and sometimes is a mix of both. :( I have been reading up on the net about this today, and it says to see your doctor if there are any changes in vaginal discharge, because this could be a sign of pre-term labour. Although I do not really have any other symptoms (no bleeding, no real backaches, no cramping) I can't help but be concerned. Should there be cause for concern? Should I see a doctor? Or is this type of change normal???? Please help! :(

I am 25 weeks and my discharge changed a little over the last few weeks. Some days there is a lot of it and other days there isnt' much of it and some days there isnt' any. I am not too worried about it. They have said that if it's accompanied by blood or brownish looking stuff, or fluids then I need to be worried about pre-term labor. If you are really worried about it you should call your ob just to ease your mind. My rule of thumb is: when in doubt call my ob.

I wouldn't sweat it and just bring it up at your nxt doctors visit. It shouldn't be anything for concern.
