Brief Answer:
Stop it gradually.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.

If you stop it suddenly then it can cause cramps or mild bleeding. Therefore, it is best to consult your gynecologist and then gradually reduce the dosage to stop it over a week.

Hope my answer is helpful.

It is alright.

Mild increase in vaginal discharge can happen during pregnancy. The discharge can vary due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. This is a normal variation. No need to worry. It will not affect the pregnancy.
