Pregnancy and Vaginal Discharge: What to Know


Question
I was wondering if a girl is pregnant, does she still discharge the white ovulation substance. if she is late for her period and she has not yet taken the pregnancy test, but she discharges the substance, is that normal?

Answer
Hi and thanks for writing,

An increase in vaginal discharge is essentially universal in pregnancy as a result of marked increase in the turnover of vaginal lining cells.

Good luck,
