Is it normal to have discharge one month into pregnancy?

I have been pregnant for a month. In the past few days, I found that I had secretions and the amount was a lot. Is this normal? I heard that my colleagues had the same situation. But we all thought that having such secretions just one month into the pregnancy might be an abnormal symptom in the body. We were worried that there was a problem with the embryo. However, the elderly people at home said that there should be no problem based on their experience. So I didn't go to the hospital for a checkup, but is it normal to have discharge one month into pregnancy?

Is it normal to have discharge one month into pregnancy?

The amount of secretion will increase significantly after pregnancy. Normal secretion should be colorless and odorless. When the secretion appears in other colors and is accompanied by a strange smell, it is a warning sign of physical abnormality. Never ignore this most important intimate partner of a woman! Hormone secretion will change with pregnancy. Among them, the increase in estrogen further stimulates the proliferation of vaginal and cervical glands; and in order to allow the placenta to grow stably, other female hormones will also increase significantly. These two are the main factors that cause the increase in secretion.

The secretion gradually increases after pregnancy. The change in secretion during pregnancy is mainly due to the hyperplasia of vaginal and cervical glands. In addition, the vaginal wall mucosa also produces secretions. The increased secretion will continue from the beginning of pregnancy until the late pregnancy.

When the birth is approaching, some mothers will confuse secretions with water rupture, because high-level water rupture is a dot-like outflow, which is similar to secretions, and it is difficult for mothers to judge by themselves at home. The biggest difference between vaginal secretions and amniotic fluid is the acidity and alkalinity. Vaginal secretions are acidic and amniotic fluid is alkaline. If tested with a test paper, the secretions will remain yellow, while amniotic fluid will turn the test paper blue.

Observe the color and smell of secretions. Secretions are composed of water, protein, glycoprotein, glandular secretions and other benign vaginal bacteria and metabolites. Normal secretions are transparent, slightly sticky but odorless. Secretions will increase after pregnancy, but there is not much difference between early and middle pregnancy and non-pregnancy. The amount in late pregnancy is similar to the normal ovulation period, or even more. When the amount of secretions is abnormal, it is accompanied by abnormal color and odor.

If the secretion increases significantly in the early stages of pregnancy, it means that you may be infected. However, in addition to the "quantity" to determine whether you are infected, the easiest way to distinguish is the "color" and "smell" of the secretions. By observing these key points, you can understand the health of yourself and the fetus.

The above content is about the normal situation of having secretions one month into pregnancy. We can understand that as long as you are pregnant, there will be an increase in secretions, and this will last from the early stages of pregnancy until delivery, that is to say, there will be such secretions throughout the pregnancy. So pregnant women don’t have to worry, this is normal. Just keep a happy mood.
