EWCM while pregnant??

[curleyshirley]

Is this normal?? Help! (I think I am between 5 and 6 weeks pg and have just had!)

It's normal - part of pregnancy - it gets much worse and honestly you will get used to it.

It means nothing bad, it's just part of the general ick and moistness that is pregnancy.

yep, what WMMC said

i thought you;d only just had a baby !

OK thanks chocolate! I had lots of discharge in my first pg (sorry TMI) but didnt rememeber any of it being EWCM which have only ever associated with ovulation. But if thats normal too, thats fine!!

Curleyshirley - actually the snail trail tipped me off to my first pregnancy - it kicked off before the morning sickness did.

Not so bad this time though so I guess each pregnancy is indeed different

oh lulumama I have . Well, last July - she is 9 months now!!

Have been caught out by the whole breastfeeding not being a reliable contraceptive thing!!! DH and I had decided to be relaxed but never in a million years...!!

Shock has worn off and now excited.

congratulations !!

Ok thanks everybody - for a moment had vague worries my body had 'forgotten' I was pg and was revving up for ovulation again or something

Curleyshirley, now that is a scarey thought. But no, you are entirely normal and wonderfully pregnant again!

Thank you! Still early days of course.

I had an emergency c-section last time (very traumatic but suspect they all are) and have been scouring the boards for VBAC v elective C threads and have seen your very useful advice and thoughts. As I say, early days still, (thats MN for you, a new thing to obsessively search threads for ;) ) but I hope we can talk again later nearer my decision time.

am always here, curley ! WMMC is a fount of knowledge on VBAC, she has some super reserach and info

I know wmmc - can you imagine?? Would all get very confusing for me ;)

thanks for your advice!

I'm 5-6 wks preg and have lots of it too (ewwww, tmi, sorry!)

what's EWCM?

sorry....

oh WMMC too? brilliant, thanks ladies!

preggers. it is egg white cervical mucus

clear stretchy discharge ,most commonly appears when you are ovulating

curley, klaw also excelletn at VBAC stuff

Egg White Cervical Mucus (I blame MN for even knowing that!!)

Thanks for charing too MrsMattie - glad to know I am not alone right now!

Thanks lulumama re klaw.

(BTW, I saw your thread that said em c-s as a result of 'failure to progress' was your bugbear - that was exactly what happened to me, after waters breaking, no contractions, induction, early epidural, no mobility, no dilation, risk of infection high as too much time had passed, baby c-sectioned out. But but but, I want to get to at least the 12 weeks scan before I start processing and dealing with all that. THEN I will come a-knocking!)

funny, I didn't think of that one.
now I have a name for it!
you learn a new thing every day....

i seeeeeee, curley.

if you have an epi before labour is established, then it can really slow labour, as does being immobile.

it is my bugbear, and i loathe the term failure to progress as it is sooooo negative.

you ask me anything you want, when you want. good to get things clear in your mind early on

yes, I quite agree lulumama! I had a double whammy - "failed induction" AND "failure to progress" thrown at me. One big failure all round!

Thanks v much. Off on hols tomorrow for a fortnight but will be back!!

Glad we have enlightened you preggers. .

Thanks again for your reassurance ladies!

enjoy your hols x
