My Wife is a 22 week pregnant ( first time ) . She is 28 yr old . Couple of weeks back she observed a mild bleeding . We went to an ultrasound and had a treatment after getting admitted into hospital . Now she is bed resting , since then the bleeding is stopped , But from past two days she is obsserving a white dischagre ( 2 to 3 times a day ) . We again went to doctor , But doctor said it is fine and it will control .
I am worried , whether I need to go for second consultation . I would appreciate if someone let me know , is this a normal observation or something serious .
Archie replied. Dear Arvinda,
It's perfectly fair to get concered if you experience second trimester bleeding.

The type of bleeding your wife experienced may have been due to many things. One of them is physical stress and second she may have Low Lying Placenta. As long as her Dr. monitor pregnancy closely it's fine and nothing to worry about.

Vaginal discharge is what you are concerned now. This is a very normal discharge during pregnancy. I should add in fact that it may get more as her pregnancy progress and this is very normal. Do not worry for this part at all.

However, if her discharge has some typical odor or color then you should be worried, this may be sign of infection. But clear discharge or white discharge that is not itchy or smelly is normal in pregnancy. Some experience more some don't and thus don't compare with others experience.

Good that you are supporting your wife in her difficult time.
Good luck
Archie
