Most women complain of very heavy discharge. I myself included. It is like runny -- but heavy in the fact that there is tons of it.

It is normal, it is called "something" all though I cannot remember the name. But it happens because the vagina is expelling old skin cells, preparing for the birth. By time baby comes, we will be as smooth as a "baby's butt" with brand new skin down there.

It is so bad for me---with me being "so old" it is like bleeding I can feel when it comes out. Bad bad discharge. I really think it's because it has been so many years for me, when I was pregnant last.

I have had 2 children and the heavy discharge is caused by a change in hormones and is very normal. It will go away after you have your baby and your hormones return to normal.

baby center online wrote:
what you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea — the odorless or mild-smelling milky fluid discharge that you occasionally found 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.
