I am 38 weeks 5 days pregnant and had my membranes stripped on tuesday, steady egg white discharge.but today is super thick like putty. normal?

Specializes in Gynecology

Yes sounds normal: stripping the membranes is a way to try and get someone into labor. It causes a inflammatory reaction which can lead to a lot of discharge making u believe the water broke. if your water breaks go to the hospital to get checked
