It may seem like you have more discharge during pregnancy. You do! It’s because of the extra hormones and blood flow.

The discharge should be either mild smelling or not smell at all, and it should look milky.

If your discharge is thin and clear and you can’t tell if it’s normal discharge or amniotic fluid, call your doctor.

If you are not yet 37 weeks pregnant and you notice more discharge than before or yours is watery, bloody (even a little), or mucus-like, call your doctor.

If your discharge is gray, green, or yellow, or it smells bad, call your doctor.

For normal pregnancy discharge, use panty liners to keep your underwear clean and dry. Do not use tampons while pregnant.
