Is white discharge is a sign of pregnancy?

Question

I've noticed an increase in white discharge, and my period is also late. Could white discharge be an early sign that I am pregnant?

Sowmya Pradhan · Answer

Haan, this is quite normal when you are pregnant. Just keep yourself clean and dry, and don't worry too much about it.

It is indeed a common sign, but do mention it during your regular doctor checkups. If there is any itching or burning, your gynac might need to give you a safe cream.

From what I remember, increased discharge happens because of estrogen changes. Just make sure it doesn't smell bad or cause itching, as that could be an infection.

Yes, it's actually your body's way of preventing infections from reaching the uterus. As long as it is clear or milky white, it is completely healthy!

I totally understand how every little change makes you wonder if your miracle is on the way! Yes, thin white discharge is actually a very common early sign of pregnancy.
