since last night i've noticed quite large clumps of a yellowy-white discharge which is jelly-like in appearance. i was wondering whether his is normal (doesnt smell, not cottage cheese like either) as it just appears to be thicker than usual.

cant fing any useful information on the internet, any ideas??

How pregnant are you? I found in my last pregnancy that I got a whiteish, sometimes yellowish mucus discharge, it was odourless and quite 'bouncy' if you try to twang it between your fingers! Sounds very like yours, though there was never a large amount. It was always there though, and I accepted it as normal-for-me pregnancy discharge.

Yours doesn't smell, so unlikely to be a sign of infection. Could well be, um, debris from sex, but I think you'd smell if it was!

I still think it's normal pregnancy 'moistness' and maybe the sex shook it down a bit more than usual? See your MW if you're worried though.

Hi there! Ive been told by my MW that white discharge is nothing to worry about (although we always do).
