Is it normal to get a clear liquid from the vagina during pregnancy?

Expert answer:

Yes, it is normal to get clear fluid out of the vagina during pregnancy. It is a normal vaginal discharge and increases as the pregnancy progresses, being more intense in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of gestation.

Even before becoming pregnant, women already have a physiological vaginal discharge, that is, normal, which is stimulated by the hormone estrogen.

In addition, During the pregnancy, due to increased hormone production and increased blood supply to the vagina region, the discharge becomes more intense.

It is important to remember that to be considered "normal", the vaginal secretion must consist of a liquid transparent or whitish similar to egg white, not have a strong smell and does not cause itching or burning.

If the discharge is white, yellow or greenish, with a rotten or rotten fishy smell, it may be a sign of infection or vaginal inflammation.

In this case, it is necessary to consult the doctor who is carrying out your prenatal care so that the problem is treated and does not present risks to you and the fetus.
