Increased watery discharge after using canestan pessary

Hi,

I’ve had thrush this week so used the canestan soft gel pessary last night before bed. Woke up a few hours later and my knickers were quite wet, there was a lot of chalky discharge too (which must’ve been from the pessary breaking down). Although I’m pretty sure the wetness was just from the discharge, I’ve been panicking thinking it might be amniotic fluid.

I changed my knickers and they’re dry now as of this morning. I’m going to buy some pads so I can monitor it but just wondering if anyone’s had something similar?

UPDATE: I rang triage who didn’t seem concerned and said to just put on a panty liner and monitor over next 4 hrs. Still anxious though so anyone who’s been in this position please let me know!

Hi the absolutely exact same situation happened to me this week ! I finished my canestan treatment on Thursday and the watery discharge has certainly become a lot less which gives me reassurance that is was directly linked to the treatment and nothing more sinister. I was going to go to hospital today but decided not to in the end as feel way better today and less side effects from the thrush treatment. You really have nothing to worry about and good to know that triage weren’t concerned about it and you were told to monitor. Let me know how you get on and equally if anything abnormal happens to me in the next 24 hours i’ll keep you posted but pretty certain it’s all fine !

so scary isn’t it but glad you’re feeling better and the discharge has become a lot less.. I’ve monitored today and it’s pretty much normal now so I feel very relieved!

Hi was this all okay? I've been experiencing the same thing. Knickers wet from increased discharge x

Hi yes it was fine. Is yours from using canestan?

Bestie where are you?!

Hey I really need to make some friends being a mom is so lonely. Distance does not matter to me (I can’t see waves)

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
