Leaking (eww, sorry, I know!)

TinyMomma24

Has anyone else had this issue? I was concerned at first that I may be leaking amniotic fluid but my doc is rated number one in Kansas City and has assured me that I'm not and to stay off of Web MD lol... It started a few weeks before my second trimester began and it's literally non stop. I don't know if it's discharge or pee but it's all day. I wipe until I'm about to chafe and and empty my bladder completely yet literally 30 minutes later my panties are soaked. I've had to switch to all cotton granny panties and I feel gross constantly. Is there any relief?

Trust your doctor. It's probably discharge.

A few threads down, we have a 'TMI Tuesday' thread... I thinks this could have gone there and not it's own SS.

This would fit very nicely on the Tuesday TMI thread...every Tuesday we discuss all the yuck of pregnancy.  Also, trust your doc.

If you are super concerned, have the doc test the discharge. They do a pH test to determine whether or not it is amniotic fluid. You can also get evaluated for BV, which might cause extra discharge. During scans they should also be able see whether or not baby has enough fluid.

I would trust my doctor.

I wouldn't walk around with wet underwear for any length of time, common sense is use pantie liners, keep many with you, and change them often.

Discharge is common. Panty liners from now on.

We've established the fact that this post should have been posted in TMI. One or two people directing her to it is sufficient. She had an EW in her title which made me think oh this is going to be a gross post when I opened it. Would you not read it if it were in tmi? Leaking pregnancy can mean any number of things.

For me, it was more the descriptors like "soaked panties" and "wiping til I chafe" that skeeved me out. I wasn't expecting it and had a mouth full of soup. I expect details like that in the tmi thread, here I could've done without it and still would've known what she was talking about. It wasn't so much that she asked about it that bugged me.

This thread didn't bother me gross-wise until I imagined reading it with soup in my mouth. Might be ruined for soup.

Right? It was a lot of detail. And I was eating soup. I thought it would probably be about breast milk, so I opened the thread. I was wrong. I'm the real victim here.

I feel your pain. Can OP change the title to swampgina so there are no more victims ...

For real @RHoPA1109‌ and others, be careful what you open while you eat if you're that squeamish. Next thing you know you'll have an eye full of mucus plug from a thread titled "Is this normal?" Trust no one. Hall monitoring after the fact won't help you not puke.

Thought this was a leaky boob post
Anyways, stuck around & just commenting to say
SWAMPGINA
Tmi but yes, I've been swamped

I first read your comment as mouth full of SOAP and for the life of me could NOT figure out why your mouth is full of soap...... Oh! SOUUUUUP......... Facepalm.

I am astonished how sensitive people are being about this. Pregnancy is a messy business and I thought these chat areas were for exactly these kind of questions and for us to support each other, not berate each other because it's (in your opinion) in the wrong place or TMI.
I was more shocked by the person who complained about it whilst using several profanities in their answer!!! Don't ask for courtesy whilst swearing... As my mother always says... If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all! :-)

Tinymomma24 I'm sure this is nothing to worry about. I'm not on this level although agree things have changed but a girl at work was telling me her experience was very similar to this and she understood it to be discharge. Hope you've found some suitable coping strategies as it must be horrid. X

It's a little early for this shit. You're really offended by cursing but the really detailed leaking vag description doesn't bother you???

PS - Profanity is the best part of being a grown up!

Oh, I see. So you want a detailed description from everyone of everything that comes out of their body while pregnant. And, of course, you don't mind having to sift through a page or so of that every day, plus of all of the other questions, like whether certain symptoms are normal, when can you expect to feel baby move, what do you think the sex of my baby is/is my doctor wrong about the sex of my child, etc. when Google and multiple other threads can answer the question if the person would just bother to be self-reliant. And you don't mind going into every. Single. Thread. And answering the same question over and over and over again. Cheerfully, and completely. Even though it's doubtful that anyone will answer back, or say thank you, or answer any of the questions that you might have. Have fun with that. Most of the rest of us don't like any of that, we find it terribly rude. And we will say so. Volubly.



Amen!

Hahahaha what a bunch of opinionated twats you lot are when all someone is doing is asking for help. How's that?

If by opinionated that's you mean supportive, smart, funny, opinionated and did I mention supportive and incredibly smart? Then yes, we are opinionated twats.

I think it's funny everyone is saying TMI. We are all suffering from discharge. I'm sure it's fine. I've been using panty liners to help with the issue.
