Sorry but I have to talk vaginal discharge, is this thrush or not?

I have a 3 month old baby and just recently I have been getting really super heavy discharge. Its quite thin (actually runs down my leg, ew...sorry!),but there's lots of it so I have to wear a pad, its clear (goes yellow ish on pad), no smell, no itching. Just 'damp' all the time. This is my 3rd DC so I don't think its anything to do with having a baby as I didn't get this before. I have never had thrush either but I understand that you might only get 1 or 2 out of 8 possible symptoms. Does this sound like thrush?

Not that I've ever experienced, sorry. I think you need to see your GP.
Is there any chance that it might be wee? My pelvic floor was pretty shot after my 3rd labour which had a lengthy 2nd stage and I had major incontinence issues which I wasn't always aware of.

I had this for ages after I had DD - from around 2 months till she was about 6 months. Got swabbed for infection/stds twice but Doctor said there was nothing wrong. It really got me down at the time. Then it just magically went away Confused

If you find out what it is let me know!

I had this after DD, my pelvic floor was also shattered, it turned out it was urine in my case, it did lessen with time and lot of pelvic floor exercises, but it did not go away completely.
Even now when I have cold or sneeze suddenly I wee myselfBlush, I sort of learned to live with it.BlushBlush

No definately not wee, I can feel when & where it comes out from. That's interesting that you had similar, Christmas. Don't know if I can do 6 months of this - the other day I woke up and was leaking through pants & pj's like I had wet myself. Oh lord, gonna be an awkward visit to my awkward doctor.... So it doesn't sound like thrush then?

Sounds exactly like what I had - I had to just wear panty liners all the time.

Mine definitely wasn't thrush - which I have had, thrush has an ichy burning feel and a thick discharge.
