End of the road symptoms
35 weeks and plus (and/or BTDT moms), towards the end of your pregnancy did your discharge increase and have a sweet smell to it? I'm not sure if my discharge has increased but today I noticed a sweet smell. I went to Dr. Google and saw conflicting reports on it being amniotic fluid or not.
Also, the joints in my hands just hurt. when I make my hands into a fist, they just feel achy and tough.
One more thing! Do any of you get funny feelings (maybe hot flashes?) where your body feels a tingling sensation and then your face feels hot? this lasts about 1-2 minutes.
I have my normal appt on Tuesday but thought I'd see if any of you can commiserate.

Re: End of the road symptoms
I definitely got more discharge towards the end but not with a sweet smell. Everything I saw/read/heard about a sweet smell was maybe a leak in amniotic fluid. I would consider going in to L&D to see if your water is leaking.
My hot flashes were obvious but started similarly to what you are describing but it also kind of sounds like what early contractions felt like to me.
HTH!

Definitely always worth checking out increased discharge though. Glad you're going to get it checked soon.
And yes my hands felt exactly like you're describing and my doc made me get braces for pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. They weren't perfect but definitely did help. Also it went away fairly quickly after birth which was good.
