Pregnant after IF

Help! Sweet smelling discharge

For the past few days I have noticed a sweet smelling discharge (sort of yellow in tint). It is so strong (but not gross smelling) that I could smell it through my jeans today at work (not sure if that is my super-pregnancy-nose or it really is that strong smelling). I have also noticed an increase in discharge the past few days.

 

I stupidly just googled it, and people say that it could be amniotic fluid leaking. I have a call in to my nurse, but they are closed, so I am waiting for the on-call nurse to call me back.

 

Anyone have experience with this? I am starting to panic...

Re: Help! Sweet smelling discharge

  • I don't have experience with this sorry but if your nurse doesn't call you back soon I would go to the ER to check it out. That's me though, it might seem like overreacting but I'd rather be safe than sorry, know what I mean?

    Good luck and hop it is nothing serious!

  • I think you made the right choice to put in a call to the on-call nurse.  Hopefully she'll be able to let you know if you should head into L&D to get checked or not.  I've heard the same thing that if it smells sweet then it's likely amniotic fluid.  Hoping that it's nothing and they can get you checked out to give you some peace of mind!  Keep us updated!

  • I don't want to freak you out, but I had sweet smelling yellow discharge a couple days before my loss.  You definitely made the right decision to call the nurse.  I hope everything is ok for you and I'll be watching for your update.  Best of luck!!
