What Does Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy Suggest?
Hi I m 8 weeks pregnant and I m a nervous wreck because I had a early miscarriage 2 months prior to this pregnancy. So far we ve heard the heartbeat at 6 weeks, I ve been very sick with all the normal symptoms, but I had a flesh color discharge today and I m very concerned. Though 8 was sick as a dog today. I ve been having some normal white discharge. Is the color normal. I m so scared.

Hi Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. Vaginal discharge increases in pregnancy. Only thing needed is to keep the part clean & avoid any infection. It can be curd like white, yellowish or gereen with itching/ burning.. indicating infection / it can be blood mixed, brown & is with pain or back ache& uterine contractions.. which indicates risk to pregnancy. As you had early miscarriage in past, you need to start hormonal supplement so as to prevent the mishap. Please consult your treating gynecologist. Thanks.
