Heavy discharge?
Kinda gross, but its cloudy and feels like its dripping out sometimes. Its been going on for 3 weeks, its not amneotic fluid or so i am told. My obgyns like to get me in and out in less then 10 minutes and I try to stay longer to ask questions but I feel put off all the time. I go to a teaching hospital and I have about 6 OB's that i have seen so far. The midwife I saw was kind of rude so this is how I have to check.
Update:38 weeks along lost plug already. cant go to another hospital...insurance wont cover it

Leukorheia is very common in pregnancy.. as long as its white or clear and doesnt smell foul, its okay... a bit of a pinkish color is okay as well, as that indicates your cervix starting to dialate and efface.. however if the discharge turns bright red, get your rear to the ER immediately..
However, whatever you do, DO NOT do what DALEL has suggested.. NEVER EVER EVER douche (which is essentially what she's suggesting) while you are pregnant - especially since you have lost your mucus plug.. Doing so totally disrupts the nomal flora of the vagina and can cause problems.. Plus, with the fact you have lost your plug, you could cause a rupture of your waters or even worse..
Im not a doctor but it sounds typical to the stage of pregnancy you are at...its completely normal..by the last stages of pregnancy some women have to wear a panty liner because of the discharge..as long as its cloudy and doesnt have a foul odor I wouldnt worry about it...but definitely try to ask that question the next time you go to the doctor...maybe ask the nurse when she brings you into the exam room
SOMETIMES DOCTOR`S ARE DUMB`S THEY DON`T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU OR THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPEN AND THEY DON`T WORRY BECAUSE EASY TO FIX .
YOU HEAVY DISCHARGE SMELL ? IS YELLOW OR BROWN ? YOU FEEL PAIN ? IF YOU ANSWER IS YES AT THIS QUESTION YOU NEED BACK WITH THE DOCTOR.
BUT IF YOU ANSWER IS NO. DON`T WORRY GO TO THE PHARMACY AND ASK TO THE PHARMACIST WHERE YOU CAN FOUND THE SPECIAL PRODUCTS TO WASH YOU VAGINA FOR INSIDE, MORE NATURAL TIP: IN A TOP PUT
1 GALLON WARM WATER AND 1/4 GLASS WHITE VINEGAR AND SIT DOWN RELAX FOR 5 TO 10 MIN TWICE FOR TWO WEEKS AND NEXT ONE AT WEEK FOR A MONTH OR IF YOU SEE YOU GET IT BETTER STOP. EAT HEALTHY AND DRINK PINEAPPLE , ORANGE JUICE AND !! GOOD LUCK !!
I'm not sure. Tell them you aren't leaving til you get some answers you have a right/ responsibilty to get the answers you need for a healthy pregnancy. My doc was the smae way and I wish I would have stood up for myself.
is it brownish? I know when i was preg. with my 1st i had a brownish maybe purplish dishcarge after my husband and i had sex I was told it was left overs from my last period. have they done ultrasounds at all. If your not satistfind with your docs call your insurencse and see who they will cover. Hope this helped I know it can be scarey, hope everything works out ok Good Luck
Does your insurance cover the emergency room?
If so. you should go there and have a real doctor look at you before something goes wrong.........and if you rack up a bill that insurance won't cover, it's still worth having a healthy kid.
Good luck........
i was told that during your pregnancy it is possible to have a heavier discharge which is normal.
