Pregnancy discharge is one of the first signs of being pregnant. During pregnancy, increased hormones and increase in blood circulation in the vagina cause a whitish runny discharge called Leucorrhea. If this early pregnancy discharge does not smell foul but does smell mild it is a perfectly normal bodily symptom of pregnancy. In fact, this is the way your body removes harmful bacteria from the vagina to protect you and your baby.
The other type of discharge occurs towards the end of pregnancy, when about a month from your due date you may find an increased discharge thick in consistency. Some women prefer to use panty liners at this time as this makes them feel more at ease.
Abnormal Vaginal Discharge
Vaginal discharge is considered abnormal when it is foul smelling, and is greenish, grayish or yellowish in color and may cause itching or redness of the vagina lips. This may mean you have a vaginal infection like a yeast infection or a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD). You must go to the doctor and not try to cure it your self.
You must inform your doctor immediately if the pregnancy discharge changes in consistency and smells foul. Also spotting is a normal pregnancy symptom, but you should inform your doctor at once if it is accompanied by cramping and pain that lasts longer than a day
What Not To Do
Do not Douche your self – this could lead to a vaginal infection
Do not use tampons during pregnancy
Do not try to treat yourself for any vaginal infections
That was about pregnancy discharge. You can also read more about the subject in good books and magazines and stay well informed so that when the time comes, you are well prepared to have a healthy and safe pregnancy.
