i have had loads of discharge, mainly milky or completely clear but today was sort of creamier (sorry, i am cringing as i type this). i am 6-7 weeks, and have had several miscarriages so am terrified it is going to darken up to blood/old blood. it didn't look bloody in any way and next time it was back to clear. it doesn't smell and it doesn't hurt anywhere.
is this normal?
is my neurosis normal? Grin

I think its pretty normal, I had it and I am now at 19 weeks.but when u see midwife just tell her incase its its an infection such as thrush. But don't think its anything to worry about. Congratulations!!!

Totally normal ime! I despair of the amount of discharge I have in pregnancy - drives me potty and is almost like having a period every day (third baby!). Try not to worry

Can be, normal, but it's worth reporting any changes to MW or GP, just to rule out thrush if nothing else (all I had was musuc to begin with, it then after a few weeks it turned in to a lot of redness/slight soreness and very mild itching, no smell, and not like a pre-pg thrush attack at all). I had this about 7-8wks, then it got a bit worse, but persistent, and by 18-20wks I was fed up, got treated at 21/2 wks. Turns out the thrush was very high up hense the comparative lack of external symptoms). The earlier you catch thrush, the easier it is to treat.
It could also be that you've drunk less, or morning sickness has dehydrated you a bit, but drinking should resolve this very quickly.
FX for you!
