It's quite common to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy.
What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea — the odorless or mild-smelling milky discharge that you occasionally noticed in your underwear before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it now, partly because of increased estrogen production and greater blood flow to the vaginal area. This discharge is made up of secretions from the cervix and vagina, old cells from the walls of the vagina, and normal bacterial flora from the vagina.
You'll probably notice more vaginal discharge as you approach labor, although it's likely to look somewhat different from the flow you've become accustomed to. In very early pregnancy, cervical secretions filled your cervical canal and created a protective barrier — the so-called mucus plug.
As your cervix begins to efface (thin out) and dilate, it may expel this mucus, and you'll notice discharge that looks like egg white or mucus from a runny nose on a cold day. You may even expel the plug in one gelatinous glob. This discharge might be tinged with a bit of blood.

Are you refering to bloody discharge or clear mucous? Bloody discharge is not normal and can mean you are having a miscarriage. Some women have a very slight tinge of blood when the egg implants in the uterus or when they would have normally had their period but any significant blood should be reported to your doctor or midwife.
Clear discharge is completely normal during pregnancy and it actually increases due to the hormonal state of your vagina and increased blood flow. Unless you itch or burn with this discharge there is nothing to worry about. You may want to wear a pantyliner throughout your pregnancy as it can get heavier.

Yes at all time my Dr says that when you are pregnant because of the hormones rising up you get more discharge than normal but nothing to worry about its perfectly normal.

Sure can. I'm dealing with it now. Absolutely normal. However, if there is odor or itching, make sure you see your doc b4 trying to treat it on your own. GOOD LUCK!
