VAGINAL DISCHARGE DURING PREGNANCY!!!!!

As i am getting often queries about vaginal discharge, i thought to sum- up the different types of discharge seen in pregnancy... What colour is normal? What does this colour mean? It is supposed to smell this way? Well, don’t worry about this..

women who are not pregnant, their normal discharge is usually clear, or white, without any smell or curd-like materials. But when you’re pregnant, you need to pay attention to what comes out of your down-there. If you happen to see anything that you think is abnormal, then you might have to visit your doctor and check them about it.

1) White thick discharge- It is absolutely normal, due to increased pregnancy hormones

2) Curdy, cheesy white discharge- This suggests the yeast infection which may cause itching, redness, sore, painful or bad smell too.. it is caused due to increased hormones cause extra sugar production in vagina leads to yeat growth.. it should be checked and treated..

3) Yellow or Greenish discharge- It indicates Urinary tract infection or STD's (sexually transmitted diseases). It should be check and treated right away..

4) Blood discharge- bloody discharge or spotting can mean a miscarriage in early pregnancy, whereas it can be a sign of early labour in late pregnancy. Any blood in the discharge is abnormal till proven, so you will need to visit the gynaecologist for an assessment..

5) Amniotic Fluid- This is too tricky ;),,, An amniotic fluid leak doesn’t have to be a huge leak. It can just be a small trickle or a slow leak. Since bladder becomes full during pregnancy, may sometimes even confuse this with your urine leak. It is advisable to empty bladder and then put on a new pad, examine the discharge in half an hour. If it; is amniotic fluid, it will be colorless or a slight pinkish tinge. It is also odourless, so it will be easy to detect.. sometimes smell like a menstruating blood..
