Horribly embarrassing question..?

Question

Beware guys this is a strange one. Ok, I am 30 weeks pregnant and lately when I have discharge I've noticed that its at the top of my panties..no where even near the crotch part of the underwear. Its up by where your pubic hair would touch your panties! So, its making me wonder where is this discharge coming from and why is it no where near the vaginal opening?

I can't even believe I'm posting this but just need to know what anyone thinks.

Answer 1

That is strange! The only thing I can think of is maybe your undies are riding down in the front making the spots appear higher up. I'm 27 weeks and my undies definitely don't go where they're supposed to anymore. ;o)  

Answer 2

since you are so far along ur pelvic bones are widening & ur pubic area is expanding slightly outward which is causing the cotton lining of ur panties to be a litle of center from where it ususally is...PS- this happened to me with my daughter & I was so reluctant to ask my doc...:-) this can also happen to a woman who has gained a significant amount of weight who's not preg.... CONGRATULATIONS & GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

your panties are just being pushed down and you don't notice it because you pull them back up every time you use the restroom lol...

Answer 4

Um...things rub together and cause friction and that alone can move mucus discharge. Unlikely to be anything sinister, just another wonderful consequence of pregnancy.

Answer 5

okay well first you know have this big belly so your panties dont fit like they used to and dont forget about gravity depending how you are sitting the best place for a flow to go is up. this is coming from your v****a but travels is all.

Answer 6

its probably because your underwear are getting tighter and the top part if farther back when u wear them.i dont think discharge would come from anywhere else lol

Answer 7

That is really strange, the only thing I can think of is maybe its coming from your urethra and its possibly a little urine and its quite possible with maybe your belly or your thighs pressing that its possible moving in an upward motion??? That's the only thing I can think of.

Answer 8

It can travel to the top of your pubic area and appear to be coming from some place else. I would also just ask your doctor because any kind of discharge can be worry some if you are pregnant. Good luck and just give him a call.

Answer 9

Please do not be embarrassed because the same thing happens to me! Technically, if you are brave to take a closer look, the discharge does come from up higher and seems to locate itself above the cl** (can you say that on here). It just gets pushed out up high and that is where it lands! I am 30 weeks as well and every day the discharge ends up towards the top of my underwear..

Answer 10

Could it be urine rather than discharge ?  It is quite common to have a "little leak".  

Maybe as well your panties are riding down a bit with your growing bump.  lol.

Answer 11

That's happened with me ever since the first child was born.  Menstrual flow, discharge, leaked urine when sneezing, all of it runs uphill.  Just something's changed in shape and such to affect the way things flow!  I've learned to place my pads more heavily toward the front of my underwear than I used to.  It is definitely odd, but you're not the only one!

Answer 12

not sure why but i have experienced the same thing, im 26 weeks.

Answer 13

completely normal. I have the same thing. I wear a panty liner. no worries.   ;)

Answer 14

hey i get my discharge on the same spot and its all normal, if its white in color thenits all normal but if you want to make it more sure then just call inn and ask your doc, and sweety your question is not horribly embarrassing coz trust me we all go through the same
