Is it normal to have a heavy discharge when your pregnant?

Having a heavy discharge during pregnancy is normal. Increased discharge is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy and can begin as early as a few weeks after conception. It is caused by the increased levels of the hormone progesterone, which thickens the vaginal walls and increases mucus production. This discharge can be clear, white, or slightly yellow in color and may be heavier than your typical discharge. It is important to note that any significant changes in your discharge, such as a change in color, odor, or consistency, should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
