Quick discharge question

J&D2007

Really ever since I got my bfp, I get a little bit of clear, water like discharge every day. Enough to wear a liner, but really probably just a few teaspoons realistically. Yesterday when I went to pee, some of the 'discharge' came out before I actually started to go (more than usual). So....I googled it. I know there is discharge expected during of and I get the milky white stuff here and there, but google is saying clear watery is not normal? Possible amniotic fluid leaking? I can't imagine that at 7 weeks there is a whole lot of amniotic fluid. Anyone else experience this?

I'd agree that 7w seems early for leaking amniotic fluid.  I have learned that if something's bothering me, I shouldn't worry about calling my OB's office to ask.  What's the worst that could happen if you call?  You'll feel silly?  But, if there's a potential for something serious and you don't call, it doesn't seem worth the risk.

Sorry  couldn't be of more help.  Since I am leaking amniotic fluid right now (at 23w6d), I can tell you what that's been like for me.  Most leaks occur over night - I'll either wake up with wet pants, or I'll wake up feeling ok, but when I roll to my side, fluid starts to leak out (I'm assuming it was pooling as I slept). 

The few times I leaked while not wearing pants, it either dripped down my leg, or just onto the floor and bathmat after I left the shower.  (It was weird, sudden and unsettling).

There seems to be no color or foul odor to the fluid, but it does, sort of, have its own distinct scent.  And, yes, its very watery.

No amniotic fluid at 7 weeks. Not any significant amount anyway. All the lovely preggo hormones activate cervical glands and the increased blood flow to the area causes lots of discharge. This can go from clear and watery to thick and goopy to discolored. As long as you don't have itching, burning, or foul odor, sounds like it's par for the course. Panty liners are your friend

I second what @Ecarabeo217‌ says. I'm such a discharge over analyzer and have had a range already (including clear, watery liquid). I called my midwife and she echoed the "unless it's red or smells or itches no need to worry". I hope this gives you some peace of mind!

Sorry you're feeling concerned. I have had a similar discharge ever since starting estrogen for my cycle. I'm assuming that's what it is in my case - these hormones are crazy enough on their own, but to be adding to it with the medications makes it even more so, I think!

Thanks everyone for helping me out here. I am SO NOT one of those people that usually overreact about every little thing, but this IF brain has me so turned around and crazy. I appreciate the thoughts!
