Is discharge normal in early pregnancy?

Vaginal DischargeA thin, milky, mild-smelling discharge is normal throughout pregnancy. The medical term for this is leukorrhea. It is very similar to the discharge that many women have prior to their menstrual periods. Since it increases until you reach full-term and may become rather heavy, some women are more comfortable wearing panty liners. Do not use tampons, which could introduce unwanted bacterium into the vagina.

Aside from being bad for your hygienic standards (and probably your partner's particularly during oral sex), this kind of discharge shouldn't be of any concern. Keep yourself clean, fresh, and dry as this will help you feel better about it.

Do not douche, as douching upsets the normal balance of microorganisms and the pH levels in the vagina which can lead to bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is a serious vaginal infection. Douching can also lead to preterm birth. It could force air into the vagina, which can be dangerous during pregnancy.

If your vaginal discharge differs from leukorrhea, you should record it with your doctor. Be sure to note any strange odors, colors, thickness, heaviness, and any other concurrent symptoms you may be experiencing.

You also have a mucous plug. The mucous plug is the "cork" of mucus that seals the opening of the uterus and can become dislodged, though generally it dislodges near the end of the pregnancy up to two weeks before actual delivery. The mucous plug is a gelatinous chuck of mucus that is passed through the vagina. You will also want to inform your doctor if and when you have passed your mucous plug.

Generally, yes. I am on my third pregnancy, and was always told by my doctor that this was fine. However, if for some reason you belive this to be your "plug" then you should call your doctor. Better safe than sorry, I always say, so I would give him a call. I'm sure chances are, you're fine, especially if you're not bleeding, or cramping. Good luck! I have some too (ew isn't it yucky?) and I read online that it is normal, it is actually the formation of the plug that is causing this!

YES You have lots of new hormones surging round your body and they increase the blood flow to the uterus and vagina which increases the discharge from the vagina. This increased discharge should be clear and not itchy or smelly. If it is you may have an infection so should see your doctor. It is quite common.

Why do women have heavy discharge?

Women dischard thick blood through their menstrual flow because the eggs that they have in their bodies for reproduction are being constantly sent out of the ovaries. If there is not sperm to enter these eggs, together with some of the lining of the uterus they leave the body showing up as thick blood. Other bodily fluids are present, this causes a thick like blood.

Should you be concerned about brown discharge while pregnant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it is in the very beginning of your pregnancy it is just 'old' blood that your body expels and is normal. Although if it is oddly thick or has a strong odor I would see your doctor. I would also see your doctor if it is not at the beginning of your pregnancy.

Brown discharge is usually a indication of blood in the discharge. If you had sex around 8-14 days ago then this could be implantation bleeding. If your due a period in the next few days it could be pre-period discharge. If your itching and the discharge smell it is a yeast infection which you need some fungal cream for.

Do you still produce discharge when you are pregnant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, discharge during pregnancy can be completely normal. The vagina is a self cleaning organ, and routinely sheds small amounts of fluid out of the vagina whether pregnant or not. However, if the discharge has changed color, consistency or smell from your normal pattern, please see your doctor. It can be an indicator of an infection or other problem and may need treatment.

Is there anyone that is pregnant or that has been pregnant who experienced a somewhat thick milky white discharge that wasn't foul but it did smell similar to glue?

The best thing to do to know for sure if to take a pregnancy test, it's the only way you'll know. Nausea could be morning sickness and yes your breasts do go tender when pregnant and you may get headaches, although this could just be an illness that's going around. My advice to you is get the pregnancy test, find out, and if your not pregnant maybe go get checked out by the doctor just to make sure everything is ok
