Do You Get Stringy Discharge When Pregnant?

Generally, the discharge you'll see if you experience spotting is brown, red, or pink in color and has a slightly gummy or stringy texture (because the discharge consists of a few drops of dried blood that's mixed with cervical mucus).

Is stringy discharge normal in early pregnancy?

Mucosal discharge

You should not get concerned about this increased vaginal discharge while pregnant as it is common during pregnancy and is harmless. This discharge is clear or milky white, thin or mucus-like and mild smelling and it helps in keeping your vagina clean and preventing infections.

Can you have stringy discharge when pregnant?

Clear, stringy, mucusy vaginal discharge

During late pregnancy, this discharge is likely part of the mucus plug. This may come out all at once (think: a tablespoon of a jelly-like substance) or may come out in bits and pieces during the last weeks of pregnancy.
