discharge & BM increase..??

[OctoberMommy2014]

somebody, convince me I'm okay before I LOSE it entirely..

I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow, and early this morning I woke up to pee, of course, and I noticed I had a decent amount of discharge (a little more than usual) with what looked like a green/grey'ish color.. smaller than a pea. I was cramping a little, which I just assumed were Braxton Hicks because I was also having some lower back pain, but I was exhausted so I went back to bed. well, I just went back to the potty & there was another decent amount of discharge, but it's still yellow/green'ish.. the usual. it's just more than usual? does the amount of discharge change the further you get?

also, I've only been having a bowel movement every 3 or 4 days maybe.. well, I had one last night, and I've had 2 so far today. I almost have a constant feeling of needing to poop?! no diarrhea, not excessive, just unusual I guess..
BUT, does the fact that my baby boy is moving A LOT, growing, etc. have anything to do with it? is he pushing/kicking/irritating my bowels?

I have a colon disease (Ulcerative Colitis), and I know the difference.. the colon disease causes me A LOT of pain. I'm not in pain, just very uncomfortable at times.. somebody, anybody tell me this is normal? I have an appointment at
8:45 a.m. with my new OB in the morning, again.. I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow, and I just need reassurance so I can sleep tonight.. again, my baby boy has been his usual super active self, but I HAVE noticed his kicks getting a lot stronger.. thank you all so much, keep us in your prayers!!! ❤ (((:

Arh your more than welcome and I'm happy to help you if I can anytime :-) x

awe, thank you so much!!! & YES, I feel everything.. every single movement!! it does definitely help because I ended up not getting a doppler.. which I wanted, but my fiancé was worried I'd stress myself out too much.

I will absolutely keep you updated.. congratulations on your third!!! I definitely want more than one.. more than two lol so I need to get used to all of this I guess..

thank you again, I'll be sure to bug you if I have anymore questions!! lol!! (((:

Arh with my first I was slim and toned and I swear I felt every single part of his body grow. Mega uncomfortable :-( so I know how you feel. Its good that hes as active as he is that's lots of reassurance right there xx keep us updated with your news which I'm sure it will be good :-) I worry and this is my third. I think its perfectly natural as mums to-be whether its your 1st or 5th.x

[OctoberMommy2014]

ahhh, you're so right.. I even asked my mama about it, and she says, "well yeah, I guess so?!" lol - I'm super tiny, he doesn't have much room AT ALL, and he's so active.. I feel like my stomach takes a beating just as much as everything else.

I'll definitely still mention it all to my OB in the morning, it's just so strange.. like you, I've been so used to NOT being able to go, now that I'm going so much I'm exhausted!! haha

that does help a lot, thank you so much! praying for LOTS of good news tomorrow.. I haven't even had an anatomy scan done yet! one of the reasons why I left my old OB.. ugh, thank you again!!!! (((:

Pregnancy discharge can increase at different stages and at times be thicker. Sometimes it makes me feel like I've wet myself.  If theres no smell or itch then I'm sure everything is fine. I'd still mention it to your doctor for some reassurance from them.
Bowel movents have changed for me to I'm 29wks and I can go 3 times which is so unlike me. I couldn't for the life of me go in the 1st trimester and now theres no stopping me lol so I think that's just general pregnancy hormone change.
The pain could be growing pains. Little man could be getting bigger and that can be uncomfortable. I tend to use a wheat bag on areas that cause this. Hope this helps :-) x

it was literally smaller than a pea.. at first I thought maybe it was toilet paper, but it definitely came out of me.. I know you can lose pieces of your mucous plug & it can grow back, I'm just a ftm.. worry-wart.. I'm sick of feeling like I have to poop though!! lol

[OctoberMommy2014]

no, no itch or smell at all. again, same color & everything as it's been since I was like 6 weeks.. it's just increased. & the tiny piece of tissue that came out freaked me out!

[natjayne]

Is it making you itch down there at all? Or does it have a smell to it?x

*bump*

oh, thank you so much!!! that makes sense.. he is just all OVER the place, and I thought maybe he was beating my bowels up in there lol - mine are already sensitive obviously, so I was hoping it didn't cause it to flare up or anything.

I'll still bring that up along with the discharge thing tomorrow.. I've had discharge literally since day 1 of finding out I was pregnant at 6 weeks, but the past 2 days have been a pain.

again, the discharge color hasn't really changed from it's normal milky/yellow color.. what scared me was the tiny, tiny (smaller than a pea) piece of tissue that was sort of green/grey'ish?

You do have more discharge the farther you get. Your baby could have moved away from your bowels causing you to finally be able to go, or you could have eaten something that didn't agree with your tummy. The color of discharge could be the start of an infection. I wild definitely bring it up with your doc tomorrow. I wouldn't stress out. As long as you aren't having consistent contractions or in pain I think you'll be just fine until tomorrow.

green/grey'ish color *tissue* smaller than a pea - sorry, typo.
