Brief Answer:
It is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM.Thanks for writing in to us with your health concerns. It is normal to have white discharge ( it can vary in colour), it is due to progesterone which is increased in pregnancy. Only concern is that whether this discharge is foul smelling or not? if it is foul smelling then it is likely that there is infection.Can you give me this detail? Regards Dr Manisha Jain.

Hii... Its not foul smelling... But its not exactly odourless. It has milky smell.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
If it is not foul smelling then nothing active needs to be done but in case you have it again or during your routine visit to your gynaecologist just get a local examination done to see if there is any problem so as to have peace of mind too
