What Does Watery Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy Indicate?
Question: I m 16 weeks pregnant, since last 2 or 3 days I m having water type discharge, what should I do
Brief Answer:
Amniotic fluid leakage should be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Increased vaginal discharge is common in pregnancy due to the effect of the pregnancy hormones on the vagina and the cervix.
This discharge is usually white, non foul smelling and not associated with any itching.
However, if your discharge is clear watery, then you should get examined by an OBGYN specialist to rule out any rupture of membranes around the fetus leading to the discharge of the amniotic fluid.
Further treatment will be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
