EWCM at 20 weeks pregnant?

[JessieEssex]

I've had lots of thick clear jelly-like EWCM this morning (am 20+5). Have been having lots of creamy discharge as normal but this is very different...
Is this normal? Does it mean anything in particular? Bit worried...

[Cluffyfunt]

I always had this when I was pg.

I started using liners.

I think it's only a concern if the discharge smells unpleasant or if there is blood in it.

Do you think you have thrush?
Thrush can be common in pregnancy.

Thanks cluffy it's just the thickness that concerned me - was yours like jelly? No thrush - I have no soreness at all. No blood, no smell.

Hi jessie, from memory I had this in my first pregnancy. I got checked out and they said not to worry unless it smelt (sorry tmi) or it had blood, as that could be a sign of infection. Call your midwife if your at all worried though.

thanks mama! (have posted in antenatal as well...)

Yep mine was a bit like jelly sometimes and I did worry it was part of the mucus plug but it was fine

Ewwww indeed, but very reassuring, thanks!
