Ah that doesn't sound too appetizing. I googled some more and found that it may be amniotic fluid leaking. So now starting to panic about it, i'll be calling my doctor as soon as their office opens up.

Haha ive actually have been finding out that a few of my guy friends know a lot about pregnancy. They have answered my questions about breastfeeding and other random pregnancy questions.

I don't think you're that big to be honest. ooo a boy and a girl? Congratulations.

I feel like I get bigger at night but am semi normal during the day (when those pictures were taken)
Thank you though =) That makes me feel better. I just already hate the feeling of the added weight of the belly + boobs, I'm dreading getting bigger and bigger....and bigger

I can't wait until I have a baby belly and don't just look 'fat'

[shypoet]

it's awesome when that happens, for sure :)

So I had exactly what you are describing regarding the discharge. I dont wear underwear to bed, just pajama pants, and when i would get up a little bit would leak down my leg. I also had a few times a half dollar sized amount of more liquidy discharge in my underwear. Of course I did the same thing as you and googled, read about leaking amniotic fluid, and freaked. I called my midwife and got in the next day. They did a cervical exam as well as an ultrasound and determined that no fluid was leaking, but they did see some trush (yeast) on my cervix. So I was given an antifungal which cleared it right up. So anyway, my advice is DONT GOOGLE! Definitely call your doctor or midwife though. While discharge is completely normal during pregnancy, a change in discharge isnt always as was my case when it suddenly became increased and a little more liquidy. Hope this helps and congrats on the baby b. What is baby a?

Ohhhh hmm, I'm worried I do have some sort of infection too, lately I've been experiencing irritation, so Ill definitely be going to the doctor for that. Though your post has calmed my anxiety a tad.

Thanks =) Baby A (the second ultrasound picture) is a girl. Was very excited to be told I'm having one of each, though now the nursery is going to have to be a neutral color.

oh yes, sorry now i see that picture! one of each, that is so exciting! we are having a girl, and kind of hate the whole pink thing, so we did a gender neutral "central park" theme since that is where my husband and I had our first date. be creative with it and have fun. and congrats too!

Awe that is adorable. I also hate the pink pink pink everything stuff. Especially the princess stuff that is at every baby store. I found matching crib sets, both jungle theme, one boy one girl, which i have put on my baby registry. So a jungle nursery it is!

Aw, a boy and a girl! Perfect! :)

My right boob tends to leak more on its own than my left boob. I can get liquid to come out of both though if I just press on them slightly. I have noticed that it leaks a lot more if I've been up doing stuff for hours - like if I'm going nuts cleaning or whatever, my shirt gets soaked! (I wear pads during the day but at night I don't wear a bra because they get so uncomfortable so I'm stuck with leaking all over my shirts).

Ah people are crazy. There's so much variation in 'normal pregnant belly' sizes between one woman to the next, even between different pregnancies in the same woman. I don't understand why just because a woman is pregnant, people think it's ok to tell her she's HUGE or whatever. Oy.
