   Ive been wearing panty liners cos of extra discharge, but what I was wondering is, what sort of discahrge is classed as normal? Mine sort of looks a bit...dirty I guess would be the word, its not brown as such but not creamy colour.
This is the one thing I always worry about, Im cos Im scared Ill look and see blood after having my m/c in July. Baby is moving around HEAPS so Im sure he's fine, but I was just wondering whats normal and whats not? (Im not itchy or anything like that I feel normal)

   Mine does that too Sheza - I was worried about it in the beginning - it was like holy CRAP whats wrong with me hehe, but apparently it's normal :) Now if only I could find a panty liner that would actually stay put!

   I'll mention it to her as I see her on Tuesday anyways. Im pretty sure its fine as its just like a bit on the liner not like when I wipe or anything. And I can feel my lil boy kicking round in my tummy right now so he seems quite happy    |

   Is there a strong smell with it?  If not, its probably fine.  I have been having similar issues & had a swab taken to check.   Dr said there was a lot of discharge there, but the test results came back fine.  So it certainly can be just another one of those niggly preggy things.

   Nah no strong smell, and its just like a tiny amount on the pad, just I notcied the colour of it, but Ive only just started using pads everyday, so cos they are white maybe Im just noticing it more than I did before?.
I'll defintly mention it to my midwife on Tuesday though.

   Mine varies in colour from whitish to creamy yellow (TMI), which my MW said was just normal preggy stuff. Also been getting more and more the further I go on. Sounds pretty normal to me but check with your MW if you are worried or if it smells etc    If u can feel your bubba kicking around, he's probably happy as    |

   I get loads of discharge too, don't really remember it happening when I had Maya but definitely had it with the gremlins. Mine can get be dark/cloudy/yellowish/clear or any combination of those, but I agree Sheza, it still worries me from time to time, I find myself squinting at the liner to work out whether it is *too* brown lol - just another pregnancy neurosis!
 I use the Active liners coz I find the old pelvic floors aren't as good as they were before they had 13lb of baby bouncing on them    |

   Teehee, take that and multiply it by 3 fat babies and you'll be in my world    For what it's worth tho, my pelvic floors did bounce back OK after Maya, it was the gremlins that killed them.

   From what I remember it sounds normal...I varied from not much at all to what you are describing.
