Pregnancy changes your secretions and with that the smell of any discharge you might be having.
If the discharge has a foul smell to it you may have contracted an infection which is no harm to your baby but should be treated by a doctor.

I would say that it really depends on how far along you are. If it doesn't itch and its not yellowish than its probably not a yeast infection. I am 25 weeks and I have had a discharge off and on throughout my entire pregnancy so far. You know your body and if you have ever had a yeast infection than you know what it looks like. If you are early on then watch for blood- if none present then don't worry. If you are towards the end of your pregnancy and you are having something similar to a snotty discharge then you may be losing your mucus plug. Talk to your doctor if you are really concerned but I would say if these are your only symptoms that you are probably ok. Just give doc a call to ease your worry.

It could be nothing but you should have them check you to see if you have an ifection. If you do its no sex for about 5 days and you have to put this stuff in there for that time. Its a clear gel, you use it like you would if you had a yeast infection.. Discharge is normal durring pregnancy. You actually get more discharge than you normally have. As long as its not painful, yellow or green, or smelly you are probibly fine. However you should notify your dr just in case.

It is normal , infections down below are very common during pregnancy due to the fact there is alot happening , don`t worry but u have to mention it to ur doctor as some can be harmful for the baby , don`t mean to scaremonger just letting u know u need to go to the doc . It may just be thrush but best to make sure ..
I had an infection down below with my 2nd pregnancy at 8 wks it was gardenrella , which if untreated could have spread to my womb and been dangerous for my growing baby .. I was given a course of anti-biotics and all was well ...

It sounds like a little yeast infection and is normal in pregnant women as the natural flora and fauna that usually lurk down there that keep this at bay are disrupted during hormonal and physical changes that happen in pregnancy. I personally suggest you see your midwife / doc / nurse for something to clear this up as some over the counter medicines can be just as disruptive to the natural balance.

Congratulations! Get ready for the biggest rollercoaster of emotions of your life! The discharge is normal, it's just your hormones changing. If it gets heavy use a pantyliner, if it changes colour, itches or gets very smelly go to the doctor, it could be a yeast infection. Good luck!

How far along are you? you could be loosing your 'plug' which means that your body is preparing for labor. I had the same type of discharge about two weeks prior to giving birth to my baby. The day before i went into labor it increased alot in volume it was like a half of cup. But if you are not very far along it could just be a yeast infection. Check w/your doctor.

discharge is normal for a pregnant woman because your body is going through hormone changes, no need for panic, however if it has a smell it could be a sign of infection. I would bring it up at my next doctors appt just to be sure. If it was bad you would have signs.

Did you have sex with an alien? This is not unusual when InterBeings have sexual relationships. If the discharge is blue see a doctor if is white you are probably just pregnant by a mere mortal, and there is nothing to worry about.
If you are still not sure go to your local pub on karaoke night and take the mic and ask the audience. That way you will get lots of suggestions
