Maybe it's just discharge? I had tons of it when I was pregnant. I literally felt like I was on my period, only instead of blood it was discharge. That's what it sounds like to me, but of course I can't say that's what it was for certain.

I am on a prom forum with girls who have the same issues. I just emailed them and the first email I got was the same as yours. I hope you both are right. She said that her mucous plug wasn't merely egg white in color. If it's discharge, then I have tons of it this time around. Last time I wasn't like this.

See, every little thing that happens pulls me over the egg. Everything. I think I am seriously depressed or something. I have never been seriously depressed before. You don't want to do anything. My child wants nothing to do with me and only wants his father.

Aw i'm really sorry you are having such a hard time. I wish you could enjoy your pregnancy instead of having to worry about all these things. I'm sorry.

You have every reason to feel this way, love. I've never gone through anything similar so I won't insult you by pretending to know how you feel, but please know that we're here for you every step of the way.

Your son is probably a little bit confused by the situation (why is mommy laying down all the time, why is she crying, etc) and might also be picking up on your feelings. He's still very young, so it doesn't surprise me that he's finding comfort from his father. He still loves you. Just give him some time to adjust, okay?

And allow yourself to feel sad, depressed, angry... Whatever's in there, let it come. You won't do yourself or your son any favors by holding it in. Any time you feel the need to let it out, you can always come here and rant. Try to keep the faith, and remember that your little boy is still safe inside your tummy. There are some things you can't control, but what you can do is take care of his mother emotionally.

We're here for you.

I agree, I think that your little boy is probably a bit frightened by the change in mommy, and daddy seems more 'normal' and stable. That's to be expected and it doesn't mean he loves you any less or anything like that. Kids are like sponges - they just absorb all the emotions in the house and it can be quite overwhelming for them at times. Don't worry, mommy is still no.1!


As for the egg whitey stuff - it does sound like discharge. I had tons of it too - I remember asking my midwife if it was normal to have this white discharge and she said yes, totally normal. I felt really wet a lot of the time!
