Pregnancy discharge

Hi I'm 10 weeks pregnant and the other day I had quite a large amount of clear, odorless watery discharge that came all at once enough to make my knickers feel quite damp and leak through to my trousers a tiny bit. It dried to a much smaller patch though and what was left looked a bit white and powdery. I spoke to my midwife as I was concerned it might be amniotic fluid leaking but she said it probably wasn't and just to wear a pad and keep an eye on it. It hasn't happend since. Does this sound normal to anyone else?

I think it's the mucus plug? I had similar with DD - it's actually how I found out I was pregnant (or one of the signs).

Increased discharge all through pregnancy is absolutely normal and nothing to worry about unless it's a funny colour and smells bad.
I'm 21 weeks and have been getting this everyday, don't worry Smile

I've had a lot of watery discharge throughout pregnancy and was often with damp knickers so I wore liners a lot of the time. Increases towards the end! Early on, first trimester, I also had white, thick leukorrhea discharge.

I get this! I’m so glad you said the thing about it drying white and powdery! I often notice tiny wet patches in my underwear that later dries white and powdery. I’m 15 weeks and I’ve always wondered if this is normal or not. Some days I have normal creamy-white discharge, and some days a tiny amount of this watery stuff that dries white. Must be normal! X

Ok thanks for all your replies. I think it's just because it was so much all at once and so watery it didn't seem normal especially as i am still early on in pregnancy.

I’ve had watery discharge throughout. Can’t remember when it started but I think towards end of first trimester sounds similar x
