Clear watery discharge 13 weeks - worried

[Catlady12335678]

Hi ladies,

13 weeks pregnant and very nervous after precious losses. For the past few days my discharge has been a lot more watery, and for the for last two day, when I’ve woken up in the morning, it’s almost like it’s pooled up and comes out as more of a gush.

its totally clear, no smell etc. my discharge is pretty light throughout the day but again just seems watery/damp.

is this normal?! I’m petrified I’m leaking amniotic fluid but then I read a lot of things about it’s fairly normal and unlikely to be that at this stage of pregnancy.

thanks x

Anyone? X

Hey OP. Sounds a stupid question but have you put a pad on and smelt it? It’s quite normal to have discharge that early on

I had a lot of watery discharge around the same stage had to wear a panty liner every day. 37 weeks now and all good, I doubt at this stage it's amniotic fluid but best thing to do is mention to your midwife. Have you had 12 weeks scan yet? This will check all is ok.

For me I had a lot of watery discharge during my pregnancy especially early on I had a miscarriage before so was worried but turned out to be fine sometimes your body does weird things but be sure to keep an eye on it and tell your midwife if you can

@AimeeLou84 yes, the Pantyliner during the day is fairly dry (normal discharge id say) and there’s no smell to it.

@JRTfan thank you! I’m hoping it’s normal and just because maybe I’m entering the 2nd trimester etc. I will get checked tomorrow as that’s our 12 week scan (but will be 13w1d).

@chychyete thank you, I’ll keep an eye on things and get checked. Hopefully it’s just the new normal for me!!

really appreciate you all coming back to me x

Watery discharge is normal, a lot of it is normal aswell as long as it doesn’t smell like something is wrong, accompanied by itching etc.
It’s possible to have A lot of watery through the whole pregnancy. It’s caused by sudden change of hormones. You can have some days/weeks more, followed by some days/weeks less of this.

Hi all,

sorry to jump on this.
i am only 5 weeks but for the past few days i have been ‘leaking’ its clear and I don’t think it smells so it’s really hard to distinguish if its urine as drinking sooooooo much water my wee doesn’t really smell at the moment anyway….
its not constant but does soak through my underwear. Hoping i’m worrying over nothing (first pregnancy)

Hi @eed32

my discharge changed a lot, especially during early pregnancy as there’s so many hormonal changes. As this stage it’s very very unlikely to be anything other than discharge. You can always get swabbed for a quick infection at your GP just to rule out thrush or BV (both also very common).

just to update on my post, my discharge alternates between watery, white ish and clear and I had a swab done by the hospital to check for amniotic fluid which was negative.

good luck with your pregnancy!

Thanks so much.

Google is my worst nightmare and honestly the scan can’t come quick enough!
