Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.


It's completely normal. The milky white discharge, referred to as leukorrhea, is a typical occurrence during pregnancy. It indicates a healthy vaginal environment that safeguards both you and your baby against potential pathogens.


Thanks
