Cramps and discharge? TMI details...

kajohnson473

I am at week 13. Lately I have noticed random cramping/wierd pains along with "snotty" discharge sometimes, otherwise just wet discharge. I'm not having any blood, however when I went to the restroom today there was very very very light color on the tp. I don't know if it was pink or brown, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me too. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this anything to worry about?! Thank you!

So, TMI, but my discharge has been heavy. I don't remember this from my first pregnancy. I asked the doctor about it and besides keeping clean down there so you don't get irritation there isn't much to do. I read online that it is part of the cervix getting ready AND that it gets worse after 11 weeks, I really hope not. I've had some light spotting as well, but it has gotten better. You can always ask you OB if you are worried.

Thank you for the info!!! This is my first baby and I'm not sure what to expect! I think if it continues I will call my dr. I just didn't know what was "normal" growing pains and what wasn't! Thanks again! Hope yours lightens up!

While I am not experiencing this at the moment, I read Belly Laughs, and the chapter covering this subject is called Niagra Falls. I think some discharge is normal.

I think this is normal and I've been experiencing more discharge and some random cramping. Of course, if you're worried, call and ask your OB. I promise they're so used to answering all sorts of questions! With my first I was worried the nurse would stop taking my calls because I was always calling with some off the wall question. 

I love Jenny McCarthy's book, she refers to it as you "snail trail". 

Panty liners are your best friend!

I have been experiencing this and I saw my Dr. She did a wet prep and it only showed very mild BV. She said it was normal and should slow down in a few weeks. Panty liners save the day
