Increased CM? Normal?

FutureMrsW9 · November 2013

This post may be a little TMI, but I have to ask...The past couple of days I've had noticeably more CM, and the texture isn't necessarily consistent (it goes from watery, to sticky, etc.). I know CM is normal, but it's enough that I've been wearing a panty liner. Anyone else experience this? It's just freaking me out because there's so much that I can actually feel it, and the only other time I felt anything was when I had my stupid bleed, so it freaks me out multiple times a day! Not to mention, the sensations in my lower abdomen have picked up and I constantly have this tight feeling down there, it's as if I'm flexing my muscle and I can't relax it.

I've read it's normal and I've been experiencing the same thing since about 12 weeks, which is a couple of weeks after I stopped progesterone.

I definitely have had an increased level of CM through out the pregnancy - sometimes being more than others. In the mornings when I take my dog for a walk first thing I can "feel" it a bit and it freaks me out, but it is totally normal! our bodies are just making sure things are nice and clean down there by constantly refreshing things!

Yep, totally normal. Mine fluctuates from day to day too, and there are times I run to the bathroom to check because it's enough that I feel more like I'm bleeding. On the muscle tightening part, I'm having that too. It's mostly when I'm doing housework or some type of physical work/exercise. It feels like my uterus gets hard, exactly the same feeling as Braxton Hicks contractions did when I was pregnant with DS. It worried me too, since I didn't get those with DS until late in the pregnancy. I asked the OB, but he didn't seem worried about it. I try to sit down or lay down when I notice it, and it usually goes away pretty quickly after that.
