Q: Tmi I Know...but I Have to Ask

Is a increase of vaginal discharge normal during the last few weeks of pregnancy? I am 34 weeks and over the last 2 weeks it's been horrible. There isn't any color, or smell but it's just a lot. I go to my doc this afternoon so I am going to make sure that it's normal, just wanted to ask u guys if ya'll think it's normal.

I don't know, but i'm 31 weeks, and i've noticed a little more than before, also.

So I hope it's normal. Lol.

Welcome to pregnancy. Enjoy your stay. ;)

i'm sorry to say that, yes, it can be completely normal. But ask your doc just to be safe.

Yeah, I never really thought to worry about it because I have always heard that as long as it doesn't have an odd color or smell or whatever that it's completely fine. I just assumed it was what's supposed to happen. Lol.

Besides, I haven't had any morning sickness or swelling (except for my fingers in the morning - and I think that's because of the way I sleep), and my blood pressure has been good.... So if increased discharge is all i've got going on that's annoying, i'm pretty darn happy!

i totally agree with you on that point. Last pregnancy was horrible but I didnt' get this far in that pregnancy to know about this discharge. I knew discharge was normal and i've had it all along but it has totally gotten really grose and a lot.

Eck! As much as we love being pregnant, there are just some things apart of pregnancy we could do without ;)
