Discharge?

Ycu2013

Anyone else experiencing a watery type discharge??

yes, a bunch.  It's normal, but if it concerns you or seems to be more than usual, call your doc.  It could be an amniotic fluid leak, which can be checked out with simple test at your doc or the hospital.

I called and the nurse called me a ''nervous nelly'' she said she could bet money that it wasn't amniotic fluid?? She made me feel so dumb for even worrying about it. I wish my doc had a diff nurse.

WTF? That's a highly unprofessional nurse.  When I called with my first, they sent me to the maternity unit of my hospital to be checked out. Now I know how much is "normal" and haven't had to call again, but geeze, I'd hope to get a better reaction from my nurse if i did!

Yeah, I'm very annoyed and at this point I don't know if I should ignore it and just keep an eye on it. She's the same biatch that made me cry about my weight at my last appt.

Please make sure you tell your doctor how his/her nurse is behaving to patients.  My FIL is a doctor and he tells a story about how he let a nurse go one time and all his patients were thrilled.  She has been awful to them and he didn't know until she was gone and people started telling him.  Sorry this happened.  If you feel uncertain it is always better to check.  For us FTMs all of this is new and a bit confusing.

I wound up in labor and deliveryast week because I thought my water broke. I was walking out of my daughters school and a huge amount of clear odorless fluid gushed out of me all over their sidewalk. The doc said it was the most amount of discharge he has ever seen and he could see why I was worried. Needles to say I have to wear a pad now and live with the fact that I squirted all over my child's school sidewalk.

Omg! How scary!!! I would have flipped out. I'm so glad that it wasn't your water breaking.

That nurse is acting like a jerk. I would let the doctor know.

If you are concerned I would definitely go in or call or whatever you need to do to be seen.

Amniotic fluid does have a smell so if it has an earthy smell let them know.
