Leukorrhea — Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy

Here's how to cope with leukorrhea, the harmless vaginal discharge that you'll have instead of your period for these nine months of pregnancy.

What leukorrhea during pregnancy is

The thin, milky white vaginal discharge that many women experience throughout pregnancy.

What causes leukorrhea during pregnancy

Estrogen, which increases blood flow to the pelvic area and stimulates the body's mucous membranes during pregnancy.

What you need to know about leukorrhea during pregnancy

Leukorrhea is similar to the vaginal discharge you might experience between periods, only heavier. Its presence, though never especially pleasant, is normal throughout your entire pregnancy — it protects the birth canal from infection and maintains a healthy balance of bacteria in the vagina. One of the earliest pregnancy symptoms, expect vaginal discharge during pregnancy to progress over the next nine months.

What to do about leukorrhea during pregnancy

  • Wear pads or panty liners if they'll make you feel more comfortable (and dry).
  • Keeping clean and dry can help prevent some of the unpleasant odors that can possibly go along with vaginal discharge during pregnancy.
  • Keep the douches at the drugstore. Douching can upset the natural chemistry in your vagina and can even lead to vaginal infections during pregnancy. Plus, it might force air into the vagina — not a good thing when you're pregnant.
  • Don't bother with washes and wipes meant to keep the vagina clean or stop odor because it could be irritating — and because it can change the ph in your genital tract.
