Hi and welcome to HCM
leukorrhea – the odorless or mild-smelling milky discharge that you may have noticed before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it in pregnancy, 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.
If there's a lot of thin, clear discharge, it can be hard for you to tell if it's just mucus or if you're leaking amniotic fluid. If you have any doubt, contact your doctor immediately. With your description it appears as amniotic fluid, because normal discharge will not be in form of gush of fluids.
I advice you to consult your doctor as early as possible.
