Increased discharge at 36 weeks

When a pregnant woman reaches 36 weeks of pregnancy, she may find that her secretions have increased and she may worry that something may have happened. The first thing to do is to determine whether the secretions are coming out of the vagina or the urethra. If the urine is secreted from the urethra, then this is a normal phenomenon. If it flows out from the vaginal opening, it is best to do relevant examinations to find out the composition of the substance.

First of all, you should pay attention to whether the secretion flows out from the vagina or the urethra. Because in the late pregnancy, especially when the due date is approaching, the uterus is already very large. At this time, the uterus presses on the bladder, and some women are prone to urinary incontinence. This is also a very common phenomenon. After giving birth, it will gradually get better after a period of recovery. To distinguish which situation it is, you can see whether the secretion appears in the middle of the underwear or in the upper part of the underwear.

In addition, see if the secretion is watery or like leucorrhea. If it is watery, first pay attention to whether there is vaginal infection or itching. Also, pay attention to whether there is amniotic fluid leakage. You can buy test strips to test it yourself, or go directly to the hospital to collect secretions for testing. Another situation to pay attention to is that if the secretion is thick and jelly-like, be careful whether it is cervical mucus plug. If this kind of thing appears, it means that labor is about to begin.

Therefore, there are many situations in which secretions increase during the 36th week of pregnancy. If it is urinary incontinence, it is a normal phenomenon. For example, you just need to clamp your legs when you sneeze. You should also pay attention to whether you are leaking amniotic fluid or cervical mucus plug. If it is not one of the above situations and it is just a simple increase in secretions, there will be no problem as long as there is no itching or odor and you pay attention to daily cleaning and care.
