We recently discussed why vaginal discharge increases during pregnancy.
But how do you know if your discharge is normal or a sign of something else?
Here is the doctor’s guide to normal pregnancy discharge (Leukorrhea):
✅ It is thin, watery, and slightly mucusy.
✅ It does not cause any itching, burning, or discomfort.
✅ It does not have a strong or foul odor.
✅ It may just leave a slight feeling of slipperiness on your underwear.
Did you know? As you move from your first trimester towards the end of your pregnancy, this discharge will naturally increase in amount and become slightly more watery.
Because of this watery consistency in the third trimester, many women confuse it with their “water breaking”!
If you ever experience a sudden gush of fluid, or if your discharge changes color (green/yellow/gray), smells bad, or causes itching, always contact your doctor immediately.
Save this post for a quick and reassuring reference! 🩺💖
