Question: Dear Doctor,

My wife is 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant as of today. We had all the routine scan and blood tests till date and everything came out normal.

From today morning my wife is experiencing vaginal discharge frequently. We immediately went to our doctor and consulted her. She did investigate the baby's heart rate and found the same being 130 bpm and also informed that it is normal for discharge at this period. We are scheduled for 35th week growth scan this Wednesday.

However, i would like to understand the reason for the sudden vaginal discharge today. What has caused the same?. Is it safe?. Does this a cause of concern?.

Our doctor has said that the discharge may be due to strain. Is that so?.

Doctor, to be XXXXXXX i would like to point out two reasons for the strain:

1. My wife took staircase 5 to 6 times yesterday (our room being in first floor).
2. We had foreplay yesterday (we do not have guts to have climax, since we are worried about the baby). Even the foreplay, its only very minimal.

Just wanted to know, if the above two would have strained her lot?.

Lastly, apologies for being very XXXXXXX since i really worried for the discharge she had today and feeling guilty, if our foreplay would have caused it.

Thanks.

Dear Doctor,

Thank you so much for the advise. That really made us to breathe freely.

My wife went to scan today and we understand that the baby is 3125 gms as of today (34 weeks & 5 days).

During her 29th week, the fetal weight was only 1309 gms.

The radiologist say that the fetal weight is that of 38th week weight.

Please kindly advise.

Thank you doctor

Both the GTT test and blood sugar levels are normal. Aminotic fluid index is at 14.

Doctor has advised her urine test since her bp is bit high.

Thanks
