In the second trimester, estrogen, which is produced by the placenta, predominates in the pregnant woman's body. the hormone promotes fetal growth and prepares the mother's reproductive system for childbirth. it will be secreted in large volumes until delivery.
A high concentration of estrogen affects the glands of the cervical canal, as a result of which the composition of the mucus that moisturizes the cervix greatly changes. the thick secretion thins out and becomes transparent. It cannot linger in the internal genital organs, so it comes out.
Expectant mothers note a large amount of discharge in the morning: during sleep, the secretion stagnates, and when the body position changes, it flows out.
Normally, watery discharge during pregnancy does not cause discomfort. they should be odorless and not cause a burning sensation. A white tint of the discharged secretion is allowed. The amount of discharge may vary, but if it does not cause any discomfort other than a feeling of high humidity, there is no need to worry.
In the second trimester, a woman must take care of her hygiene - she must wash her genitals at least twice a day. Gynecologists advise not to overuse panty liners, as they create a greenhouse effect, which is an ideal condition for the development of pathogenic flora.
