Watery discharge during early pregnancy practically does not occur; This period is characterized by thick mucous secretion. The expectant mother secretes mucus, which protects the embryo from infection.
The appearance of secretion is provoked by the active production of progesterone, which is responsible for the implantation of the fertilized egg and its protection from external harmful factors. under the influence of the hormone, vaginal mucus becomes viscous and acquires a white tint - this indicates the successful consolidation of the embryo. After this, the cervix closes with a mucus plug, and the thick discharge may intensify.
Progesterone reaches its peak concentration by week 8, then its secretion decreases. From 11-12 weeks, estrogen begins to be actively secreted, which leads to increased activity of the cervical glands and an increase in the volume of vaginal secretion.
Watery discharge in the early stages of pregnancy appears only from 10-11 weeks, and then in small quantities. liquid secretion appearing before this point may indicate inflammation.
