Since i found out im pregnant i noticed more discharge than usual and a bit of smell too. Its making me self conscious tbh. Is this just hormones or something i should mention to my gynac?
Yes, more discharge is very normal in pregnancy, hormones increase it. A mild change is fine. But if it smells strong, is green or yellow or itchy, get it checked, that could be an infection.
Increased discharge happened to me too and its usually nothing to worry about. That said I dont like to guess, if the odor is strong or you feel burning pls see your gynac, infections are common in pregnancy and easy to treat.
Please dont ignore odor with discharge. I had a small infection in pregnancy that started just like this and the doctor sorted it quickly. Clear watery discharge is fine, but smell or color change needs a check.
Dont panic, a little more discharge is just your body doing its thing in pregnancy. Only the smelly, itchy or coloured kind needs attention. When in doubt, a quick visit settles your mind.
Some extra discharge is normal dear, my mother said the same when I asked her. Keep that area clean and dry and wear cotton. But a bad smell is not normal, so do mention it to your doctor.
