TMI Leukorrhea

@Iva thank you for sharing! I’ve been up to the maternity wards more times than I care to count now and always doing the amnisure test to make sure it’s not amniotic fluid and it never is 😩 It is annoying because mine is nearly constant the last few days and like you say it does irritate the surrounding skin being so sensitive! I hate it, I feel so gross for it too! I’ll keep my eye on it, it’s just really irritating!
@Kara yeah it’s not great hey 😭 hang in there mama and take comfort in the fact that it’s all normal. Try and air out the skin during the day if you can (if you work from home). I would just sit butt naked on a towel 😛 lol or if can’t during the day, at least once you get home. I also found using paper towel instead of toilet paper helped cuz the paper towel doesn’t break apart. I was going to try an oat bath if my irritated skin didn’t clear up but then it did so can’t vouch that that would help but saw that as something that was recommended so maybe look into that? Also since it’s constant, have you tried wearing a pad and if that would help? That really helped my friend
@Kara hey it’s due to the hormones and very normal. One of my friends literally had to wear a pad cuz she was having so much. Mine comes and goes and at first I thought I might have been peeing myself 😭 but after monitoring it (colour/consistency) just saw that it was discharge. Not sure how it’s happening for you, but for me it would come in a “wave” from time to time (wasn’t constant) so when it happened I’d just go to the bathroom and wipe it. So if it’s like that for you make sure to sort it as it comes on cuz if you leave it, after a time it can irritate your labia skin. (Which is not fun 😳). Also, if you’re worried about it being something other that discharge I’d check with your doc or midwife just to make sure it’s not amniotic fluid.
