Discharge help

Quick question. Does anyone know if it's normal for discharge to dry a yellowish colour?

TMI but I have been monitoring my discharge due to previous mc and it seems a creamy colour when wet but it goes a yellowish colour when it's dry. I'm 6 weeks and this wasn't happening until 2 days ago. Worried it's going to turn into bleeding

Discharge it totally normal.
Just keep an eye that it doesn’t smell!

No it doesn't smell at all. Just worried that it's a sign that bleeding is about to start

Please don't worry, it's normal in pregnancy. I've been getting discharge like you're describing for the full pregnancy and I'm 38+5 weeks now with a healthy baby boy. I also had a previous MC before this one so I understand the worry but it really is normal in pregnancy.

As PP said, if it starts to smell contact your midwife as it could be a sign of an infection or thrush but these are easily treated. If no smell I wouldn't be worried - you can always contact your midwife though if you're concerned about anything

@Lou98 thanks for the reassurance. I've managed to get an appointment to see the midwife tomorrow so will see what she says.

I've heard it's normal but I think I'm worried because it was white previously and now suddenly has a yellowish/very very light brown tinge when dry.

It's so difficult isn't it because the internet always tells you it's not normal and other sites say it's normal. I guess every pregnancy is different. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. Thanks

@nacarlo19 no problem, I hope it's reassured you a bit for tonight at least! I was the same with the colour, definitely thought it was a bit odd but turned out to be nothing.

Definitely better to be safe than sorry though so good you've got an appointment tomorrow with the midwife!
