'Getting wet' is different from discharge; 'wetness' often refers to when someone is aroused and their vagina produces fluid to make it easier for a penis to slip on in there, while 'discharge', is a general term used for anything fluid-like that emerges from the vagina.
Watery vaginal discharge is typically normal and can be due to natural hormonal fluctuations that occur during reproductive processes in a woman's body, like ovulation and pregnancy, or during sexual arousal or menopause.
Most of the time, vaginal discharge is creamy, mucousy, or sticky and doesn't smell bad. Most of the time, amniotic fluid is watery, hopefully clear, but sometimes yellow, green, or with white specks.
The characteristics of arousal fluid are clear, wet, moist, and slippery. Unlike cervical mucus, however, arousal fluid dissipates quickly (usually within 1 hour).
Sometimes, it may be slightly yellow, white, or clear. In some cases, watery discharge before a period can be thinner or thicker. Before getting her period, a woman's discharge may look pink or brown.
Clear and stretchy — This is “fertile” mucous and means you're ovulating. Clear and watery — This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising. Yellow or green — May indicate an infection, especially if it's thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Is jelly like discharge a sign of pregnancy? After ovulation your vaginal discharge will become dry and thin. This is due to estrogen levels decreasing. However after ovulation you may notice jelly like discharge if conception has occurred.
In addition, as the pregnancy progresses, women may notice that they may have excessive vaginal discharge, and they may confuse it for urine. However, having a watery discharge doesn't mean that you're pregnant. Other factors can lead to watery or clear discharge.
Hormonal imbalance: Hormonal imbalance occurs when the endocrine system produces too little or too much of a particular hormone in your bloodstream. Whether caused by stress, diet, or a health issue like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalance can result in side effects like watery vaginal discharge.
As you near ovulation (the point about midway through your cycle, when an egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube), you're apt to see more mucus. It tends to be thin, slick, and wet. You can often stretch it between your thumb and forefinger.
White, milky vaginal discharge.
Almost immediately after conception, your vagina's walls start to thicken, which can cause a white, milky discharge that may continue throughout your pregnancy. The discharge is typically harmless.
Normal discharge during pregnancy is clear or white, and usually a bit sticky; it should not have a noticeable odor. It's OK if your discharge looks a little yellow on your underwear or panty liner during pregnancy, too.
Discharge before a period tends to be cloudy or white, due to the increased presence of progesterone, a hormone involved in both the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. In other phases of the cycle, when the body has higher levels of estrogen, vaginal discharge tends to be clear and watery.
Amniotic fluid is usually clear or has a pale yellow tint. Discharge is more milky white and slightly thicker. Most of the time when the amniotic sac breaks it doesn't result in a huge gush of fluid like you see on TV. Most often, it feels like a steady trickle or a leak of fluid in your underwear.
Main symptoms and signs of amniotic fluid leakage include: Wet underwear, but the fluid is odourless, colourless; Wet underwear more than once a day; Decreased movement of the baby in the uterus, when there has already been a major loss of fluid.
How can you tell the difference? Amniotic fluid leak will keep going and may even smell slightly sweet. Leukorrhea can be annoying, but it won't gush out and shouldn't smell like much of anything. A greenish tint or foul smell.
Because the trickle of fluid can feel like peeing or discharge, it can be confusing – but there are ways to determine whether you're seeing amniotic fluid or something else. If you think your water has broken, call your doctor or midwife so they can run tests and recommend next steps.
Normal amniotic fluid is clear or tinted yellow. Fluid that looks green or brown usually means that the baby has passed the first bowel movement (meconium) while in the womb. (Usually, the baby has the first bowel movement after birth.)
