Disgusting Question, sorry:S

I think bloating is very normal. And the discharge may be normal too, depending on what it is. Is it brown, red or pink? Is is kindof milky? Does it smell really bad? Something stinky may signal an infection. Brown, red or pink discharge may indicate a problem. But some spotting is pretty common in early pregnancy. Otherwise, it is completely normal for you to have more kindof milky or clear colored discharge than usual during pregnancy.

Every pregnancy is more fun then the last, lol I hated pregnancy and am so glad that its over for me... It is normal and just have your doctor check it out at your next check up, unless it gets a smell or burns. Your hormones are going nuts and your children are close.Don't let that worry you though, because there have been closer pregnancy. I know someone that got pregnant on the way home from the hospital after having a baby. That next pregnancy was twins... I got pregnant with my third when my second was six months, and that was hard.... well good luck and enjoy, I hope this helps

Hey Cara,
If you have any concerns with your pregnancy you should call your doctor as soon as possible and see if they think they need to see you. When I was pregnant with both of my children I had some bleeding which turned out to be blood clots in the placenta that my doctor monitored throughout my pregnancy to make sure everything was ok. I can't tell you what might be going on all I can offer is a suggestion to talk to your doctor. I hope that everything is alright and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care and God Bless.

I am now 17 weeks preg with my 4th child and the discharge as long as it doesnt have a foul smell is probably ok...this is what I found:
Vaginal Discharge/Cervical Mucus

Vaginal discharge of various forms is an early pregnancy symptom or a pointer towards conception. The amount of vaginal discharge increases in the earliest stage of pregnancy.

This is because the estrogen production increases with the greater blood flow to the vagina. The vaginal discharge alas increases as you start approaching the time of labor.

Cervical mucous is not an early pregnancy symptom but an indication of pregnancy and at the later stage of pregnancy. Cervical mucous typically indicates labor. Cervical secretions fill the cervical canal and create a protective barrier called the mucus plug.

The cervix expels this mucus discharge and begins to dilate as you approach the ninth month of your pregnancy. The mucus discharge may come out in the form of a lump or it may be the regular increased vaginal discharge over the course of time. When a woman is pregnant, normally the cervical mucus is thick and tacky. It has does not stretch easily as the mucus of normal unfertile times does.

Also the bloating is probably from gas. I will have to say up till this pregnancy I have never had so much gas in my life. My doc lets me take Gas-x, so check with your doc and make sure its ok but it really helps.

Its not a disgusting question, just normal early pregnancy-jitters! As long as the discharge doesn't smell bad or is red or brown I would think it is perfectly normal. The bloating could be water retention or as one of the other ladies said..GAS! The dreaded pregnancy gas! I have never in my life gotten so completely used to breaking wind in public like I did with my last pregnancy, and I absolutely did not care who was there! Does your belly hurt anywhere? I do think that if you have concerns call your doctor and talk to the prenatal nurses there, I became very good phone-friends with my doctors nurses as I never hesitated to pick up the phone and call with any questions that I had, and if I needed to go in, I went in! Also, during my first pregnancy I remember feeling early on that my belly felt "pulled", it felt like it was stretching so maybe your body is just getting ready for your new baby! Good luck and God Bless You and your family!

With my first child I had a lot of discharge, to the point that I had to change my underwear during the day. Didn't really notice the bloating though. I have had three boys and each pregnancy was different. The first was GREAT, the second wasn't by the book at all, and the third was miserable! All three births were different as well. Don't worry unless you have to worry!

No question is "disgusting" during pregnancy. ;) The constant discharge and bloating is normal. I have had 4 children and I can attest that you, or at least some of us, show earlier and earlier with each pregnancy. With my last pregnancy (born 7 months ago) I had to wear maternity pants at 6-8 weeks. Granted, it is not actually the baby that is that large, but what is going on is that your body has been through this before, not long ago in your case, and remembers what to do so it just does it sooner. So your organs get pushed around sooner and your ligaments that support your uterus are not as tough as they were prior to your previous pregnancy. What does that mean for you? Nothing, other than the fact that you won't spend as long in that "is she fat or just pregnant" stage of pregnancy.

The discharge is completely normal as well. After having one successful pregnancy, in subsequent pregnancies, your cervix is never completely closed. It will be what they term "closed on the inside but slightly open on the outside". So you will have more discharge this time than last time. As the other posters have said, as long as it isn't foul smelling or an odd color, it is ok. Granted, pregnancy discharge always has a distinct odor to me. I actually think it smells like mayonnaise. That smell is normal and isn't "foul" it's just not fun.

Try not to worry too much. Women have been having babies long before there were books filled with everything to worry about that could possibly ever happen in a million years, and the human race is still here. ;)

Best of luck!
