Hi,
Thanks for the query.
During pregnancy the vaginal discharge will increase and that is called as physiological leuchorrhea.
If you are not having symptoms like smell, excessive itching etc. no need to worry.
If any of these symptoms appear better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
Because any type of infection during pregnancy should be treated carefully.
Keep local area clean and dry as per as the possible, use only luke warm water to clean the area.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
