Don't worry chickadee!

Congrats by the way!

I had discharge too - wore pantyliners every day and ended up with a very minor infection which i needed antibiotics for! Moral of the story: Unless you are Niagara Falls - just change your knickers.

mine were sopping

it was thrush

go get swabbed

The pantyliners gave you an infection LOVEMY MUM?

LOVEMYMUM · 20/11/2007 21:03

Hi susiemj.

I think the pantyliners kept everything warm down there (sorry, TMI!), which gave harmless bacteria a chance to grow. I had a bit of pink discharge, got swabbed and prescribed antibiotics. Don't know if the pink was a symptom of infection or not. The antibiotics got rid of the heavy discharge and i just wear cotton knickers.

I see, Lovemymum. Good piece of info. Thanks.
