WHAT is with the absurd amount of clear and white discharge during the end of the first and now the second trimester? I swear I thought I peed my pants this morning. UGH.
I seriously freak out and run to the bathroom bc I constantly think that I’m bleeding. Then I realize it’s just discharge. I never thought I’d be so happy to see discharge
@smillsy I have never been that concerned about bleeding until this morning when it whooshed out of me so fast I limped to the bathroom and held my breath. NOT cool. My blood pressure must have been through the roof.
@mtpbadger SO glad to know it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks for the heads up! Between this and the nast that leaks out of us for at least a month postpartum, what the actual f*ck? People need to talk more about this ahead of time so we can stock up on liners LOL.
I hate liners, and especially with all the stuff that's coming out right now, I feel like liners make it feel and smell worse. My solution is changing panties twice a day (or sometimes more), so things there can air out easier. I had to buy more underwear, since I was always out way before next laundry day Of course, at over 32 weeks now I got to the point of "I sneeze, I pee a little" so liners might become unavoidable now...

Yeah it doesn’t get better unfortunately (32 weeks) and I hate liners too so I just change my undies a lot. I had to buy more too lol. Thankfully no pee again after peeing my pants while throwing up a couple weeks ago. So fun!
TTC 4 years. 7 failed IUI's with either Clomid, Femara and/or Trigger Shots. Started IVF journey in February 2017. Polyps removed in May. 1st IVF Transfer September 26th. BFP. Expected due date 6/14/18. Baby boy born 5/25/18 at 6 lb 9 oz. My bundle of joy.
I remember SO MUCH discharge while on IVF stims. Like it was flowing out of me. So far for most of my pregnancy, I've been kind of dry? Is that weird or what. However, I'm now seeing trickles of discharge. I wonder if it's my mucus plug or something. I just have no idea.
My TTC journey:
Me and DH: 30-35 Unexplained infertility TTC #1 since 2015 11/2015 - BFP! 12/2015 - MC IVF #1 July 2017 freeze all (20 eggs, 15 mature, 10 fert, 6 blasts, 4 PGS normal) FET #1 TBD Surprise BFP 9/2017 while waiting for FET... hoping for the best!
Theory is your vag keeping itself at a specific pH to avoid infection, which is great and all, but way too much gunk. Dry would worry me too, I suppose, @helloworld9!
YES to all of this. Man alive, it's like some strange swamp creature has taken over my vag since pregnancy. I am changing underwear 2-3x per day because I can't stand the feeling of being anything but dry. Liners are a must. And I don't know if it's just my nose being extra sensitive or the hormones, but things smell different too. DH says he doesn't notice, but Lord knows he probably wouldn't tell me I smell unless he wants a slap across the face I'm showering sometimes twice daily!
Even more fun when, around your due date, you finally have to call your OB because you literally can’t tell if you’re peeing or your water is leaking, but only when you cough or sneeze. Such an embarrassing phone call and visit. (Luckily it was my water leaking but I’ve had friends turned away - “wellll you’re peeing yourself...”)
I havent been using them yet, bc add me to team #ihateliners over here too, but I will say the ones with a more cotton layer are the only ones I can stand, and they do breathe a bit, so they're honestly not that bad, imho. Kotex has a long one that I actually did stock up on, it just hasn't been bad enough for me to break down and start burning through them. Lol. Nothing was worse than the short ones hitting at just the wrong spot between sitting and standing all day!
Ditto on the discharge. It is more watery than my normal so if I don’t wear my liner it forms an annoying wet spot right at the front of my underwear within a couple hours. I hate it so much.
Also nice to know I’m not the only one peeing myself. @Holls214 the last 2 times I vomited I also kept peeing myself a litte with every heave and gag. I was so embarrassed I didn’t even tell DH and I don’t think he noticed. Just said I needed to go shower after vomiting.
@TravelingCouple luckily I read an article about the change in odor before I actually experienced it or I would have been worried. Apparently it’s to be expected.
@safire3 thankfully my hubs wasn't home when I peed my pants while throwing up, so I just threw my undies in the wash and hopped in the shower. I did tell him though and I don't even know why I did... Yeah I have noticed different smells, like pee smells stronger. I asked the doctor and they said it was normal I suppose. Oh the joys.

I remember the day in my 2nd trimester when I decided not to wear a liner/pad when we went out for lunch and shopping. I coughed and wee'd my pants....and had to sit on a plastic bag in the car and sneak back home >.< I felt like a little kid all over again. I didn't notice more discharge until 3rd trimester and then it was pretty constant!
Discreet pads for bladder incontinence became my best friend...I'm using them still, but for the last bits of the postpartum bleeding. No more pee'ing when I cough!

I still haven't decided if I should tell my DH about "sneezing and peeing" incidents But every time he tries to be flirty by pinching me in the butt, I tell him that if he does, I'll pee on him

Re: Anyone up for a little TMI thread?
I will be so glad when I'm off progesterone. I'm so tired of the stupid white, gross discharge. Panty liners really don't help. Sigh.
Of course, at over 32 weeks now I got to the point of "I sneeze, I pee a little" so liners might become unavoidable now...
