I’m 17 weeks with twins
My discharge is really wet, white not too thick. Underwear is wet nearly everyday. When I pass a stool I will also pass discharge (yes it is deffo from my vagina) just now I went for a wee, looked in the toilet and white discharge was also swimming around in my urine lol sorry this sounds embarrassing to type!
I have midwife tomorrow so of course I will ask her. Just wanted to see any other ladies experience as it is my first pregnancy. Thank you x

Perfectly normal.
You may wish to use panty liners or change underwear more often.

Sounds very normal - I found I had more discharge from 14/15 weeks and have had to wear liners in my knickers ever since (nearly 38 weeks now!), I remember speaking to the midwife about it at my 16 week appointment and she said it was totally normal and to only be worried if the discharge was thick/lumpy, an odd colour or smelled bad.

Unfortunately yes that's normal! By the end of my 1st pregnancy I was changing my pantyliner twice a day.

30 weeks now and I was noticing a lot extra discharge a few weeks ago. At my 28 week check the midwife asked if I was having any burning/stinging when I passed urine (I hadn't). She said I might have a little infection and would send off a sample to be tested, and said the discharge was probably because of the infection. Fortunately it cleared up without antibiotics after a while. So it may just be your body fighting off the beginnings of an infection. If it is, the midwife will detect it when she checks your urine.

Yes totally normal, just keep an eye for changes to smell or consistency that could indicate infection. And you could wear a liner or just change underwear.
