Is EWCM normal in pregnancy ?

[Mum23boys]

Now Ive had loads of discharge through this pregnancy ( am week 6+5) but its always just creamy but today i have blobs and blobs of ewcm is this normal ?

I don't know if its normal, but I had that with DS2 as well.

I had a bleed at 10 weeks and the doctor told me that I was about 1-2 cm open and that it was my mucus plug that kept going. He said he could see my plug was thinner than what he'd expect, but that I wasn't to worry about it as it kept regenerating.

I kept loosing that darn plug through out the pregnancy (seriously yucky - I mean, loosing it once is one thing, but through out the pregnancy is ... blurgh!). It never had any repercussions for me, but I'd mention it to my midwife/GP if I was you. Just in case.

Having lots of CM is very normal in pregnancy tho - but big EWCM blobs like that sounds like the mucus plug going in small bits. It's probably just because it's not your first time so your cervix isn't as closed as it was the other times.

Your mucus plug keeps building up and replacing itself so that is what it should be

I have had loads of discharge in this pregnancy - some days just creamy but some really watery and loads of it. Not sure about lumps but everything seems to be ok with me. If you are worried call the midwives - ours work on a Sunday - someone should be able to call you back if you leave message. The mucus plug does replace itself - don't sit there worrying though as they can re assure you x

Mine changes all the time. I go through stages with lots of discharge, mostly EWCM. Sometimes it's creamier and less abundant. All three of my pregnancies have been like this. I never gave it a second thought. I think it's all the changes your body is going through. Your hormones are all over and naturally that is going to cause some different reactions. (I am 17+2, and baby is healthy, if that helps at all).

My doula once told me your body is making more mucous just everywhere when pregnant bc of hormones ( my sinuses bother me more too when pregnant ) so I always assumed it was normal (of course that's w out foul odor , blood etc) then id be concerned

I've had loads with this pregnancy to, none with any of the others - some thick some watery and some clumpy - pretty gross and was worrying me but have had on and off since bfp, although i has been worse since my cvs but no bleeding or anything as of yet. Pretty gross though

Thanks guys at the moment its the last thing on my mind as i have spent the last 48 hours feeling like im going to throw up - no actually sickness but 48 hours of severe nausea and not being able to sleep, one minuite hot one minute cold. Ive got work next week from 6am-7pm with 9 children from 9 months - 9 years so im hoping to god i can get through the next 4 days. Luckily i ook friday off to do my xmas wrapping as i think im going to need it off just to rest now !
