1st Trimester

Worried about discharge

Hi!

I am sorry if this is a lot of information but, I am 5 weeks 5 days and am really nervous about all the miscarriage posts. I noticed a vaginal discharge today, initially I thought it was urine but, I had just used the ladies room so couldn't have been that. When I checked it looked watery and I am afraid it might be amniotic fluid. Some sites say it's normal but, how can I tell?

My 1st doc appt isn't until 11th of Feb and I am freaking out. What should I do?

  • Is it clear or white?  If so, that sounds normal to me.

    Call your doctor if you are concerned or have other problems.

  • I'm sure you're fine. By you thinking it was urine, I'm assuming it was thin. I had that, too... I wasn't concerned about it at all.

    As far as it being amniotic fluid or a miscarriage - I'm no doctor but.....

    With a miscarriage, you wouldn't be concerned about discharge. You'd have cramping and blood that gradually becomes bright red - often with clots (but not always right away).

  • Surely everything will be fine.  I went to the dr today because of spotting and cramping.  I am 7 wks.  They did an ultrasound to how things were and everything was fine.  We got to see the baby, which looked like a peanut and the heartbeat.  It's heartbeat was 147. It was amazing!  So don't worry everything will be fine.
  • Thanks everyone!! This is really helpful, I will call my Doc in the morning just in case. This is my 1st pregnancy and I am not usually one to freak out but, not knowing what's going on... well you can imagine. Definately gonna sleep ok because of you all :)
  • It's slightly yellowish with a mild odor but, not strong I could only cuz of the heightened smelling senses.
  • I get that a lot. It's normal.
  • It's normal...there will be a lot of discharge during pregnancy, you've got to get used to it...even though it is kind of gross at times.
  • I could be wrong, but at 5 weeks 5 days I'm not sure you would hardly notice if you had amniotic fluid leaking out. There's really not much in there I don't think. It could just be CM, which is very common and will happen through your whole pregnancy. Pantiliners will be your friend!
