I am four weeks pregnant and I have noticed that I have a milky white discharge. It doesn't smell or anything, but It's just something that I noticed. Is this normal?

bonitarat,


If there is no odor, then this is just normal vaginal discharge. This is referred to as leukorrhea, which is normal throughout pregnancy. It will increase until you are at term, so it may become quite heavy. Some women wear pads during the last months of pregnancy. Make sure you keep the area clean and dry, and wear cotton or cotton-crotched underwear. Avoid tight pants, jeans, spandex, etc Rinse your vaginal area thoroughly after soaping during a bath or shower, ahnd avoid exposing it to any irritants such as deoderant soaps, bubble baths, and perfumes.
