Does discharge smell in early pregnancy?

Question

Im around 8 weeks and noticed discharge has increased and the smell feels a bit different than usual. Not sure if this is normal pregnancy thing ya something to worry about. Anyone experienced this early on?

Mamta Poojary · Answer

Increased discharge is normal due to hormones, but a foul or fishy smell can indicate a bacterial or yeast infection. It is best to consult your gynac for a quick checkup.

Mild smell is fine, but make sure you eat curd and drink plenty of water. If the discharge smells strong or is yellow, it could be an infection, so let your gynac know.

Normal early pregnancy discharge should be mild or odorless. My mother-in-law advised me to wear loose cotton clothes to avoid any sweat or bad odor.

Normal white discharge doesn't have a bad smell, beta. If it smells bad or causes itching, please tell your doctor so they can give you safe medicine.

I know how scary every tiny change in your body feels, I used to worry constantly too. A mild, clean smell is normal, but if it is very foul or itchy, please check with your doctor.
