Im 11 weeks along and when I woke up this morning to pee I had clear sticky discharge...is this normal? I doubt you cab obvulate while pregnant but has anyone else had this?

  • Yup its normal and sometimes it's even white instead of clear. fun stuff huh? Haha
  • More discharge than usual is pretty normal. However, if it has a strange color or smell call or go see your doctor immediately. I had it when I was pregnant with my first and have noticed it already with my second
  • Oh lovely, thanks you 2
  • Yeah I've had that crazy discharge since I got pregnant. Just ask your doctor if you notice suspicious like the other ladies mentioned. :)
  • It's not your imagination. It's quite common to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy. What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea – the odorless or mild-smelling milky discharge that you may have noticed in your underwear before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it now, 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. You'll probably notice more vaginal discharge as you approach labor, although it's likely to look somewhat different from the flow you've become accustomed to. You should call your caregiver if you suspect that you have an infection. If you have an odorless, whitish discharge that's causing you discomfort such as pain with urination or intercourse, soreness, itching, or burning – or your vulva looks inflamed – you might have a yeast infection. If you notice a thin white or gray discharge with a fishy smell after sex (when the discharge mixes with semen), you may have a different kind of vaginal infection called bacterial vaginosis.



  • Lol, extra discharge is how I figured out I was pregnant with my first. So much gross stuff happens when you're pregnant. ;)
  • Thanks melinda, I didn't know that. And I know, its weird what the body does to make a baby
