Lately I have noticed that I seem to have an increase in discharge. Most of the time it is thin and white which I know is normal during pregnancy. But sometimes it will just be watery looking. I havent been leaking when I stand or lay down or anythign just noticed an increase in the discharge. But is it being so watery at times normal? I would call the doc and ask to make sure but its a Sat. night.

Discharge and a lot of it is common throughout an entire of pregnancy. As long as it's not bloody, doesn't smell funky, and isn't unusual colors (ie: green, brown, etc.), it's perfectly normal. You will see a lot of different types throughout your pregnancy.
Chunky, watery, runny, stringy, clumps, etc. As long as it's discharge with no blood, no weird (nasty) smells, and is generally white or slightly yellow, then it is perfectly NORMAL!

You might want to let your doc know about this because you shouldn't have any discharge like that for how far along you are. Usually your doc office has an after hours line and you their answering sec will page the doctor. And you can always call your local hospital and dial the ask a nurse line to make sure. better safe than sorry.

Hi there. It is within the guidelines of what is considered normal. If it worries you I would write it down on my list of things to ask the doctor about at your next appointment. It is no cause for alarm.
Unless a discharge has an "off" odor, contains blood or is abnormal in some other alarming way, it is nothing to worry about.
Relax and enjoy your pregnancy! You are at a really great place in your pregnancy, you should be experiencing a lot of exciting things.
Blessings to you and baby.

I'm 32 weeks and have been dealing with light to moderate vaginal discharge since about the 20th week. I've told my doctor about it on several visits and he always says it's totally normal to have some discharge throughout pregnancy. So I just buy pantyliners and deal with it!

call the doc on call. are you hurting? relax ? how many weeks are you? they can tell you more. This board is aw some but doesn't replace a real doctor.
The baby is a special gift take nothing for granted.
It will not be the first time or last time a ob doc will be awakened for a concern. That what they get paid big bbbbbbbbbbuckkks for !

Saturday night or not, i would call...you could be leaking amniotic fluid (which would not smell bad or be thick -- just watery). I agree with one of the previous posters -- those doctors get paid a lot of money -- make sure you and the baby are o.k.!
Best of Luck!

You don't state how far along you are. If you are concerned, you should call your doctor regardless of what day it is.
If the doctor feels you need to be checked, he'll have you go into the L&D unit.

you should see your doctor no matter what asap
because he or she will know better than any of us on here.
if the discharge is accompanied with discomfort that's bad.
i don't think watery discharge is normal.

No, not normal to be having an increasingly watery discharge. Call the local hospital and speak to the nurse at the E.R.

PLEASE GO TO THE DOCTOR!!! I had the same problem during my pregnancy and it turned out to be bv (Bacterial Vaginosis) and this can sometimes have you deliver your baby earlier, please go to the doctor and they will treat it.
