No it isn't okay, wear a pad. When you give birth they won't let you wear a tampon for reasons of increased infection.

Aside from toxic shock syndrome, there are other problems tampons can cause. Because tampons actively absorb menstrual blood and do not differentiate between blood and vaginal mucus, the skin that lines the vaginal walls dries up. That can lead to microulcerations and infection. Artificial fibers such as rayon, which most brand-name bleached tampons contain, are abrasive; when the tampon expands, it can cause tiny cuts and embed pieces into the vaginal tissue. To read information directly from the FDA on tampons, see www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/consumer/con00116.html or www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2000/200_tss.html. Keep in mind, though, that many health experts do not feel the FDA's take on tampon safety is accurate or acceptable. But it's worth a read.
Tampon Hygiene Rules
Tampons should therefore never be used between periods, during pregnancy (to absorb mucus, for example), or when you already have a vaginal infection.

Tampons are NOT NOT NOT to be worn duing pregnancy. If you really need something for the fluids use a panty liner or a pad but NOT at tampon

ask your doctor!!! If you are having a problem with discharge your doctor is the best one to help you figure out how to control it. You may need to wear a pad since your body chemistry is not "normal" at this time due to your pregnancy. but then again, it may be okay. but you do need to call and ask for your doctor's opinion on the matter. good luck and congrats!!!
edit: Just read your edited question....use moist toilet wipes, moist summer's eve wipes, or a wet wash cloth to clean yourself up, or take a shower and wash thouroughly. follow the same procedure again in the morning. since that discharge is occurance based, you don't need to wear a tampon. a panty liner would probably help with the icky feeling during the rest of the night.

Absolutely not. And you shouldn't have enough fluid to need a tampon. Tampons are a BIG no-no while pregnant. Try a pantyliner.

I believe this is not recommended as it can encourage the development of infection! I believe my doctor said to use sanitary pads instead while I was pregnant.

This is a very bad idea, since it can lead to infection. Figure something else out.
