How Your Vaginal Discharge Can Change During Pregnancy
—think: a few specks of blood on your underwear or a streak when you wipe—isn’t atypical, it’s something an obstetrician would want to discuss and monitor, says Underwood, so let your doctor know if you see any blood.
Here’s a full rundown of the vaginal discharge colors that may make an appearance in your underwear during pregnancy:Called leukorrhea, this pregnancy discharge is made of cervical and vaginal secretions and is normal.During late pregnancy, this discharge is likely part of the mucus plug. This may come out all at once or may come out in bits and pieces during the last weeks of pregnancy.Leukorrhea can also have a whitish hue .
Note that intercourse can change the consistency of your vaginal discharge during pregnancy. Keeping track of when those changes happen—for example, seeing a few streaks of pink discharge after having sex—can help you monitor your pregnancy discharge and give your doctor a heads up about any concerning patterns you may notice.
During later pregnancy, if you’re experiencing significant dampness, it could potentially signal an amniotic rupture that needs immediate attention. Since amniotic fluid is clear and odorless, it can be hard to discern from typical pregnancy discharge. One way to assess: Put on a new pair of underpants or a new pantyliner for an hour. If you’re noticeably damp or wet after an hour, Underwood says, it may be a good idea to call your doctor.
