I am 34 weeks pregnant, and all day today i have been experiencing some wierd symtoms. The newest one as of the past few hours is that i have been feeling as if there is a huge amount of discharge coming from below.it feels almost like i got my period (but obviously thats not it). When i check to see if its just discharge i never see anything. It is as if though it doesnt make it to my panties. Is this normal, or does it sound as if tho i might be leaking fluids. I find it wierd that it feels like its gushing and there is alot, but when i look i cant see anything in my underwear. Other then this today i have been getting menstraul like cramps and alot of B/H and when i get the B/H i get really hot and my face gets red and flush. The tightening is usually in the upper part of my abdomen and sometimes end up everywhere other times only part of it tightens. Is this normal, or does it sound like labor preterm labor?

If you were leaking fluids, then your underwear would be wet and it would be running down your legs sometimes. Thta happened to me. But what your feeling is probably normal. It could be the pressure of the baby giving you some strange feelings down there, and also you could be having braxton hicks contractions which are fine and normal. Dont worry. Ask your doctor if you want. I had my baby at 34 1/2 weeks after my water had been leaking for a week. And I was just miserable too, like I couldnt take being pregnant anymore. That is when I started labor. The baby was healthy and we went home 2 days later. So dont worry too much.

I would go and get checked out in case it is preterm labour, Tell them everything you have told us, they can check to make sure its not your waters leaking, I had a leak in my waters but I new it was my waters as I was soaked all the time, But to be sure they can get you to lay down for 20 mins or so because if your lying whatever it is that feels like discharge will dwell up and they can test it. its always better to be safe then sorry when it comes to you and baby's health so you should always get checked if something is feeling odd, if not just to put your mind at ease. Good luck and I hope its nothing to worry about

It sounds like preterm labor to me, but I don't think that your water has broken, more along the lines of loosing the mucus plug. And the contractions, sound like labor contractions. Call your doctors office and have the Doctor on call paged. He will know better because he has taken care of you throughout your pregnancy. Maybe he have you go to the hospital and be checked just in case.

Call your Dr. or OB department. You very possibly could be going in to pre-term labor. It never hurts to get things checked out and the Dr. would rather you come in 10 time for false alarms than not come in that one time that they might have been able to stop things early. Good luck

Gosh, nothing like a bunch of people FREAKING OUT to make you nervous is there? LOL!!!! It's probably nothing, however, call your OB doc to inform them. That's their job, they're used to it and won't mind at all. They'll have an after-hours service available so just call, leave a message and wait the 20 minutes until the on-call doc calls you back.

i'm 35 weeks and i've got the same problem with the discharge feeling. you're hormones are telling your body that it needs to prep for labor, so your cervix is starting to "ripen" (and this is exactly what my doctor told me last week when i asked her about it) so it's creating more fluids. this is normal, unless you see bloody discharge or it smells bad. if either of those, call the doc. with the b/h it could be preterm labor, or just your body preparing itself... it's something you are going to have to call your doc about. call your doc or the hospital, tell them what's goin on and see what they tell you. they might have you come in so that you can be checked out. but please, call them... this could be it.... good luck hun..

Did you ask the people at the hospital why? They are the only ones qualified to answer this question. If you are still worried phone NHS Direct or go back to the hospital as its unlikely anyone here can give you a responsible, qualified answer.

Sounds like what happend to me right before I lost my mucus plug.
And the flushing feeling sounds like new hormones.

DID you call your doctor, and tell your doctor?
Really now, you are asking a group online and they have no idea who or what you are really going through.
Get you butt to the doctor.....before it's too late......now my bad news, I lost my first child because my X-husband didn't believe me when I said I could not breathe at 7 months....in 1988.
