9 months pregnant and leakage/discharge?

Question

I'm having discharge really bad today, is this common this far along? What are the signs leading to labor

Answer 1

it is really normal for this far along. i have it too.

there are alot of signs that labor will happen soon, like using the bathroom for both #1 and #2 alot, losing your mucous plug, slight bleeding, frequent braxton hicks, pains that start in your back and lead to the lower part of your stomach, period like cramping, a sudden burst of energy.

but everyone is so different you may not get any of these.

your water may never even break or could break unexpectedly.

it is hard to say. but you should only have a max of 2 weeks left anyways.

gratz.

Answer 2

It is normal to have discharge.  If it is greenish...you are probably losing your mucus plug.  That could be a sign...but it could be weeks before you deliver.  I did not have any signs at all, except for the mucus plug, and discharge.  My water just broke, and I started getting contractions, shortly after.  Good Luck!

Answer 3

Hi there - Is it just discharge or are there signs of your waters leaking too?  If it is just discharge then it may be your plug coming away which can be an early sign of labour, although this can happen a couple of weeks beforehand.  If you are concerned I would just call your midwife and get it checked out to be on the safe side.  You didn't mention what colour it is, but if it's just white/cream it may be just normal discharge.  Get it checked though, probably nothing to worry about.  Other signs I have been told to look out for are waters breaking or contractions which is the main sign of labour.
