White discharge during early pregnancy Posted: 01-01-07 13:45pm
I will be 7 weeks pregnant tomorrow and
this morning when I wiped I had a
whitish-yellow, thick, stringy like
discharge. It was a very small amount.
This same type of thing happened about a
week ago as well. I am very worried,
however I have no bleeding or cramping.
What is it and should I be concerned?

According to your description
(“whitish-yellow, thick, and stringy
like vaginal discharge”) you could be
experiencing some type of vaginal
infection. You have to consult your
gynecologist immediately because any
vaginal infection can affect the
pregnancy. A Pap test and vaginal smear
for microbiology will be probably
requested.
