Question

i have been getting alot discharge and its a very light greenish clour and quite thik it has not got a smell to it. i have not yet been for my first scan but i think im about 10 week + im to embaressed to say anythink to my doctor even more so coz my husband always comes with me. if it could be an infection what sort of thing would it be.

Answer 1

Discharge is normal, but the greenish color is not. You need to tell your doctor. Why does your husband have to be there? Tell him to stay home for once. If that is not an option, why don't you call your doctor while your husband is at work and explain your symptoms and situation. She might be able to check and treat you without him knowing IF it is just a woman thing and isn't something he needs to be treated for as well.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I always had more discharge when I was pregnant with my three kids but it was a thick whitish colour and never smelt!! Please see a Doctor as it could harm your baby if you have an in fection, dont feel embarrassed in front of your husband or Doctor, they have seen it all before and will probably be more embarrassed than you!! If you do have an infection, he may well have one too so he will need to check himself to be sure or ask Doc to check him too!! If you really cant go with your husband, does he work during the day? Could you go whilst hes at work? Get it sorted though as any unusual discharge regardless of colour, smell etc should definately checked by a Doctor! Could you see a lady Doctor? This may be more comfortable for you and your Husband!! Good look with the pregnancy and when the babys here!! X

hi bobby its Kelly i answered your previous question about discharge. Just to let you know i had the exact same problem that started at about 10 weeks pregnant and finished at the beginning of this week. I had some swob's taken last week and have just got the results, everything is fine. Therefore, i am assuming it is normal just not as common as other things that happen to women when when pregnant.

If you are really concerned still i suggest you go to the doctor just for piece of mind but i honestly believe its the same experience i have had and i am fine. Don't ever be embarrassed to tell anybody its not very nice but they will understand, its all the joys of being pregnant.

Hope this helps a little x

increased discharge is very normal. your body has more liquid in it now which causes more discharge. but if it is green then you most likely have an infection.

i had the same thing, light green discharge with no bad smell. and it turned out that i had a pregnancy related infection. not a big deal if it is treated, so you really need to tell your doctor about it. if infections go untreated while you are pregnant they can harm the baby.

don't be embarrassed to tell your doctor. they see pregnant women everyday and they are used to it. especially this kind of infection, because it is quite common.

you really shouldn't be worried about telling your husband. i wanted to tell my husband everything that was happening to me. that way you don't feel so alone. plus it is his baby too. if he is like my hubby he would want to know everything that is going on.

you need to call your doctor asap. it would probably be best to go on to the ER tonight. this is what i had to do. i called my doctor's office on a Friday afternoon and she advised me to go to the ER so it could be taken care of asap and to make sure there was nothing wrong with the baby.

Answer 5

Discharge is normal at anytime in a woman's life as long as it doesn't smell, itch or is a funny colour. I would make an appointment without your husband knowing if you really can't discuss it with him there, but really you shouldn't be embarrassed you are having his baby after all. It may be an infection which is normal and can occur at any time but you are more prone to infections when pregnant. Don't worry and see a Dr for your own sake.

Answer 6

Yes, this is normal- I got it before I had a positive test. I remember thinking that I don't usually have a discharge like that before start of period.

Answer 7

During both of my pregnancys i had a heavy discharge. My doctor told me it was nothing to worry about unless it had an odor. I'm not sure about it being greenish. Don't be embarassed to ask your doctor that is what he is there for and trust me he has been asked worse. If you feel uncomfortable asking in front of your husband ask him to stay in the waiting room and ask to have a nurse bring him abck after you talk to the doctor, or call your doctor he may answer your question over the phone.

Answer 8

It is normal to have more discharge during pregnancy and it can get quite thick.I'm not sure about the greenish colour though,you may have a slight infection (could be thrush)
These things are quite normal during pregnancy so there's no need to be embarrassed.

Answer 9

While Yeast infections are VERY VERY COMMON in pregnancy,If there is no burning .or Itching ,Along With this discharge it is MORE than not just regular Pregnancy discharge,Along with pregnancy your body is producing so much more of EVERYTHING!!
So more discharge just seems normal.

OH the joys of pregnancy :) Good luck!!
