I've had it throughout my whole pregnancy. It's called Leukorrhea, and here's what I found on wikipedia.com about it:
Leukorrhea (US) or leukorrhoea (Commonwealth) is a medical term that denotes a thick, whitish vaginal discharge. It results from inflammation or congestion of the vaginal mucosa. In case it is yellowish or gives off an odour, it ceases to be healthy and a doctor should be consulted.
Leukorrhea is a sign that the vagina is healthy and keeping clean. It may sometimes occur before a girl has her first period, and is considered a sign of puberty.
There are many causes of leukorrhea, the usual one being increased estrogen. The amount of discharge may increase due to vaginal infection or STDs, in which case it becomes more yellow and foul-smelling. Vaginal discharge is normal for a woman, and all women are different. Causes of change in discharge include infection, malignancy, and hormonal changes.
Leukorrhea may occur normally during pregnancy. This is caused by increased bloodflow to the vagina due to increased estrogen. Female infants may have leukorrhea for a short time after birth due to their in-uterine exposure to estrogen.
Its usually a non-pathological symptom secondary to inflammatory conditions of Vagina or cervix.

OK THIS SOUNDS GROSSSSSSSS BUT HERE IS WHAT I FOUND>>>>
yeah it changes due to hormanal balance. and it does get a little gross... BUT this also could be a vaginal infection.... ( some therories point to certian vaginal ( yeast infections ) causing premature labor... I had one of these.....( not knowing it only reflection a year later when the jama infomation came out ) and ended up spending 10 weeks in the hospital due to pre term labor... The information on this "possible LINK " was diagnosed a year later...... but ask the doctor it could be normal .... just hormonal changes like mine was worse inthe 4 and 5th month ... or it could be a yeast infection that you need treatment for,,,, ask the doctor because you may start to believe you have a UTI .... if it makes your urine is cloudy. in the potty... ..... Your mind plays enough tricks on you when your preggo ... you dont need one more... ask your doctor ... yeast infection or normal mucus????
