More Discharge During Pregnancy Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Worry

Pregnancy is a magical, thrilling time in your life, but not all of it is picking out cute onesies and booties. Your body is constantly surprising you as it grows and nourishes your baby-to-be.

One of these surprises might mean experiencing a lot of vaginal discharge during your pregnancy. Don’t be alarmed – pregnancy discharge is completely normal!

You may have noticed some early pregnancy discharge when you first became pregnant. This was a sign of changing hormones in your body as your fertilised egg implanted into the wall of your uterus. Since then, you may have experienced a lot of discharge during your pregnancy. Pregnancy discharge is your body’s way of creating a protective barrier for your growing baby against infection. Increased oestrogen levels in your body due to pregnancy produces this thin, milky, mild-smelling discharge. Early pregnancy discharge may increase until term (and for a while after birth, too!), sometimes becoming quite heavy.

So, if you’ve been wondering if discharge during pregnancy is normal, the answer is yes! However, there are some signs to watch out for. Abnormal discharge may have an altered colour, texture, or quantity. If you experience discharge that is red, itchy, irritating, or smelly, consult your doctor or midwife to assess the situation, and start an appropriate treatment plan, if needed.
