The second trimester of pregnancy is usually characterized by the appearance of discharge from the vaginal tract, which can be due to both natural physiological changes in the female body and existing diseases. How to correctly identify the discharge, which are considered the norm, what to do with pathological changes in the secret and how to be treated - more in the article.
Causes of discharge during pregnancy
Colorless mucous or watery discharge in pregnant women is produced for almost all 9 months - this indicates the correct functioning of the hormonal system. 
Also, the reasons for such allocations can be:
- in the 1st trimester- conception itself (according to abundant secretions, even before using the test, it can be determined that fertilization was successful), the formation of a mucous plug, which prevents various infections from entering the uterus, and the production of a large amount of progesterone;
- in the 2nd trimester- the beginning of the production of estrogen, maintaining the required level of moisture in the vagina;
- in the 3rd trimester- increased permeability of the vaginal walls, abundant production of estrogen, an increase in vaginal secretion as a stage of preparation for the upcoming birth.
Important! The complete absence of whitish or transparent discharge in the 1st and 2nd trimester indicates violations in the work of the female hormonal system - this is a reason for an immediate visit to the doctor!
What can be considered the norm
The vaginal secret during a woman's hormonal adjustment is an absolutely normal phenomenon, which demonstrates how correctly the body prepares for bearing and giving birth to a baby. 
The following is a description of the types of vaginal discharge in pregnant women that are the norm:
class="table-bordered">
The intensity of normal vaginal discharge can vary - it depends on the individual rate of hormonal changes in each individual woman.
Did you know? During the entire period of pregnancy, a woman experiences cardinal changes: the heart pumps 2 times more blood, which increases its coagulability several times. The heart itself increases by 1.5 times, the liver - by 2 times, the bone tissue becomes more fragile, the spine changes position, the head and chest are slightly retracted, breathing becomes heavier and deeper, and the feet due to swelling can increase by 2– 3 sizes.
What diseases indicate discharge
Any, even a slight deviation from the normal consistency of vaginal discharge in a pregnant woman, the appearance of an uncharacteristic shade and even a slight smell in the 2nd trimester may indicate the occurrence of diseases that become a potential threat to the health of the mother and the normal development of the baby. Below are the most common atypical types of vaginal secretion. 
Liquid nature
Abundant watery and clear vaginal discharge with thick mucus-like lumps may be the result of leakage of amniotic fluid - this is a very dangerous situation that indicates tearing of the membranes and their infection.
As a result, the child cannot develop in such an environment, so the leakage of amniotic fluid in the early stages of pregnancy almost always forces one to resort to its interruption, and in the later stages - the introduction of strong antibacterial drugs into the vagina and caesarean section.
Symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage:
- sudden copious, watery discharge with mucus clots, often first seen at night;
- lack of itching and desire to comb the genitals;
- no unpleasant odor;
- sometimes - a slight increase in temperature and general weakness.
yellow-green
Bright yellow, with a very unpleasant odor, mucus appears as a result of a sexual infection, most often gonorrhea. This disease is accompanied by:
- severe pain in the lower abdomen;
- dysuric disorders (pain and cramps during urination);
- outflow of purulent fluid from the vaginal tract;
- itching of the genital tract.
Important! The occurrence of gonorrhea during pregnancy in 15% of cases leads to miscarriage. Also, a child, passing through an infected birth canal, runs the risk of contracting conjunctivitis, and if it is a girl, also gonococcal vulvovaginitis.
A secret with a predominance of a green tint may be the result of inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs, a general violation of the microbiological state of the vagina, or the result of some sexually transmitted infections:
- - very intense, greenish, frothy discharge, accompanied by itching, burning, pain in the intimate organs and a sharp "fishy" smell;
- genital herpes- the appearance of characteristic red sores on the labia and vulva, severe itching, unpleasant odor, yellow-green or purulent discharge;
- - itching and rashes on the body, including the genitals, the appearance of small abscesses on the genitals, greenish or beige mucous heterogeneous discharge, sometimes with blood;
- chlamydia- often occurs without pronounced symptoms. In a progressive form, it is characterized by mucopurulent discharge - yellowish or yellow-green in color, signs of general intoxication of the body (fever, weakness) and pain cramps in the lower abdomen.
Infection by a pregnant woman with sexual infections is fraught with at least a violation of the microflora of the vagina and the possibility of infection of the baby during childbirth. In the worst case, this threatens to terminate the pregnancy, therefore, with yellow or green discharge, a woman needs to urgently undergo a medical examination and after appropriate treatment. Bloody
A very dangerous situation for a pregnant woman is the flow of mucus with blood clots. This could be about:
- - severe pain in the lower abdomen, bleeding with mucus, a weakly positive test, severe dizziness or fainting;
- - severe bleeding, lower back pain, blood when urinating (sometimes), amniotic fluid leakage, fever or fever;
- - uterine hypertonicity, strong mucous spotting, heart failure in an infant, pain in the abdomen;
- various injuries- may occur as a result of a blow or strong physical exertion.
Bloody discharge can occur without pain cramps or spasms, however, if they appear, even in a small amount, it is urgent to be examined by a doctor. Pink
From the vagina are less dangerous, in comparison with bloody ones. Their reasons may be:
- microcracks in the mucosa of the birth canal- as a rule, pain is absent. The discharge is not intense, slightly colored pink (sometimes blood may also appear);
- an increased number of red blood cells in the uterine lining- subject to the absence of painful sensations, it can be considered the norm;
- injury from sexual intercourse- the liquid may be pinkish or with bloody lumps;
- partial rejection of the endometrium- subject to maintaining the tone of the uterus and the absence of pain in the abdomen, it can be considered the norm.
Often, pale pink discharge is identified as a sign of a successful pregnancy - if such a liquid appears against the background of a delay in the menstrual cycle (as a rule, after 9–10 weeks of pregnancy, it no longer appears). Did you know? Modern medicine clearly states that alcohol and smoking have a very negative effect on the development of the baby in the womb. The ancient Aztecs had a different opinion: every woman in a position must drink the fermented juice of a sacred plant - agave. It was believed that such an alcoholic drink improves the mental activity of the baby and contributes to his good health in the future.
Brown
are often precursors of bloody, as well as signs of some pathologies:
- ectopic pregnancy- brown and brown dense mucous secretions are accompanied by severe pain in the abdomen, dizziness, general weakness, the appearance of bloody fluid in the future;
- cervical injury- accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, pain when urinating, bright brown discharge (often with blood);
- placental abruption- a lot of mucus is secreted from the vagina, from light pink to brown, brown and bloody. Accompanying sharp pains in the abdomen, sometimes the temperature rises;
- exfoliation of the mucous plug- the exit of the cork part, which protects the genital tract from infections, is always characterized by the appearance of an abundant mucous liquid of a pinkish or brownish color. Pain is present, but not always - most often they are expressed in general weakness, a decrease in the tone of the uterus;
- other injuries- brown mucus can appear both from strong physical exertion and stress, and from sexual intercourse.
The listed ailments, like all previously described, are a prerequisite for seeking medical help - the sooner the pathology is detected, the more successfully it can be treated in the future. Important! Brown discharge (especially with blood) in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy always indicates a danger - from insufficient production of progesterone to fetal fading.
White
And loose (they are also called "curdled") abundant discharge indicates thrush - covering the uterus, vagina and external labia with yeast-like bacteria. Thrush is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- burning of the genitals and itching;
- copious white (sometimes yellowish) discharge with a slight sour smell;
- pain cramps during urination and during sexual intercourse.
Sometimes thrush can take a very short period and be the result of the body's reaction to hormonal changes - it was already mentioned above that such a condition without accompanying pain symptoms (as well as itching and burning) can be considered normal. In all other cases, the treatment of thrush, as well as other fungal diseases of the genital organs, is mandatory. orange
As a rule, orange discharge that appears in the 2nd trimester indicates the presence of some kind of infection in the genitals - this situation is dangerous for the baby, since the environment in which it is formed ceases to be sterile.
The vaginal secretion, indicating an infectious disease, is always atypical - orange, yellow or greenish, and also mostly has a very dense, thick texture. Orange discharge may be accompanied by:
- incontinence - as a result of poor kidney function (urine also turns orange);
- burning and itching, swelling of the labia;
- the release of purulent mucus - indicates a possible staphylococcus or E. coli in the body;
- change in consistency (from foamy to thick) - indicates the presence of a sexual infection.
thick
As a rule, the dense and dense structure of the mucosa indicates the formation of a mucous plug that protects the uterus from the penetration of external infections. Such discharge in the 1st and 2nd trimesters indicates the correct preparation of the body for bearing and protecting the fetus (provided that they are not accompanied by a specific smell and pain). 
In all other cases, thick discharge may indicate:
- - if they are white, “curdled” and with a sour smell;
- sexual infection - if bright, atypical colors (brown, orange, bright yellow or green);
- detachment of the placenta- if with severe pain in the abdomen, a general sharp deterioration in health and the appearance of blood from the vagina;
- miscarriage- if a lot of blood is released, there are sharp pains in the abdomen, radiating to the lower back, dizziness and weakness.
Did you know? In medical practice, cases of so-called "false" pregnancy in women are not uncommon. Psychologists believe that such a condition can be caused both by a strong desire of a woman to conceive a child, and, on the contrary, by a pathological fear of this. From a medical point of view, this phenomenon is explained by an increased amount of the hormone progesterone in a woman's body - in this case, it is necessary to undergo hormone therapy.
What measures to take in case of pathological discharge?
Any deviations in the healthy state of a pregnant woman in the 2nd trimester (especially with regard to the genital area) should not be ignored - it is necessary to carry out diagnostics, take tests and undergo treatment.
Mandatory visit to the doctor
Any type of changes in the vaginal secretion (especially in the 1st and 2nd trimesters) must be immediately informed the doctor - this will prevent dangerous pathologies and prescribe high-quality treatment in a timely manner. In most cases, you will need to take additional tests - from scraping to a biochemical blood test. 
In no case should you postpone a visit to the doctor or ignore small qualitative changes in mucus - the safety and health of the baby depends on this.
Medication treatment
On the basis of a doctor's study and a diagnosis, a method of treatment is prescribed - in traditional medicine, in the treatment of various kinds of genital infections, both oral preparations and topical agents are used.
Tablets
The principle of treatment of genital infections in pregnant women is based on four main components:
It is preferable to treat genital infections with the help of tablet forms of the drug - this is convenient, it allows you to calculate the exact dosage for a pregnant woman, and the funds have a quick effect. However, in order to achieve the fastest possible recovery, an integrated approach is used - the use of oral preparations with topical drugs.
Ointments and creams
External preparations can eliminate the external signs of the disease: relieve itching and burning, get rid of purulent mucous secretions, restore a healthy vaginal microflora. The most common ointments and creams that are recommended for pregnant women include:
- "Gibitan"- applied intravaginally, 3-4 times a day;
- "Fluomizin"- successfully treats thrush, trichomoniasis and other infectious and fungal diseases. Intravaginally, 2 times a day;
- "Macmirror"- restores the microflora of the vagina. A tampon lubricated with the preparation is injected into it for 30 minutes 3-4 times a day;
- "Metromizol"- applied intravaginally 1 time per day.
Some ointments and creams can cause an allergic reaction in women with intolerance to any of the active components of the drug, so only a doctor can prescribe such drugs. Candles
Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and wound-healing effects can also have vaginal suppositories:
- "Genferon"- treats thrush, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, etc. It is administered 2 times a day;
- - 1 time per day (usually at night);
- "Metromicon-Neo"- 2-3 times a day (the dosage is determined by the doctor).
Important! Self-medication of various sexually transmitted infections during pregnancy is unacceptable! The whole process - from the selection of drugs to the appointment of a dosage, should be controlled only by a qualified doctor.
The use of folk remedies for certain diseases
In general, experts recommend abandoning alternative methods of treatment in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy - only high-quality drugs can eliminate the pathology and not harm the baby. 
However, in some diseases, the condition can also be alleviated by non-traditional means (provided that they are used as an additional method, and not the main means of treatment):
- Thrush- combine calendula inflorescences and oak bark in equal proportions and prepare a decoction. It must be diluted in half with water and make a bath solution by adding 1 teaspoon of salt. In such a bath (not hot!) You must sit daily for 10-15 minutes.
- Trichomoniasis- half a glass of dry calendula inflorescences is poured with vegetable oil, covered with parchment paper on top and infused in a warm, dry place for 20-25 days. The resulting oil is filtered and used to lubricate the labia and vagina.
- Chlamydia- dry bark of bird cherry, poplar and birch buds, take 100 grams each, add 50 grams of dry hop cones. Pour a third of this collection with 0.5 liters of cold water and leave to infuse overnight. In the morning, boil the resulting tincture, strain and take orally three times a day before meals.
In order for the pregnancy period not to be overshadowed by the appearance of atypical vaginal discharge, it is necessary to take care of the health of the genital organs and the healthy microflora of the vagina in advance. 
Preventive measures include:
- wearing the right underwear - no synthetics, but only cotton underwear;
- daily hygiene procedures (at least 2 times a day) using optimal hygiene products (without fragrances and dyes);
- refusal to use hygienic tampons - they can bring the infection inside the uterus;
- the use of daily sanitary pads without odors, fragrances and any dyes;
- refusal of hard physical work, also avoidance of heavy lifting, overwork;
- regular visits to the gynecologist and the delivery of the necessary tests.
Vaginal discharge, which often appears precisely in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, can be both a natural response of the body to ongoing internal changes, and evidence of certain infections or pathologies.
Attentive attitude to your health and, in particular, to changes in the quality and quantity of secretions will help to detect and eliminate the disease in a timely manner, and compliance with preventive measures will help maintain a healthy vaginal microflora and thereby ensure the baby comfortable and proper development in the womb.
Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and exciting periods in the life of a future mother. However, not all representatives of the weaker sex, it proceeds smoothly. Many women have to deal with various problems. Most often, pathologies occur in the first or last third of pregnancy. From the information provided, you can find out what the discharge in the second trimester of pregnancy says. Let's say right away that they can be the norm or a sign of pathology.
discharge rate
This period of gestation lasts from 14 to At this stage, the placenta is already fully formed in the woman's body. It supplies the baby with nutrients and vitamins. Also, the placenta carefully guards the growing fetus. It does not allow various toxins and aggressive substances to adversely affect it.
Allocations in the second trimester during pregnancy are recognized by doctors as an absolute norm. Indeed, at this stage, hormonal changes occur in the body of the expectant mother. Gynecologists say that the discharge can be quite heavy, but they should never cause discomfort. The consistency of the mucus is predominantly watery, but at times it is replaced by a creamy mass. The discharge may be clear or white. They do not cause itching, burning and have no smell. Now let's try to figure out which discharge in the second trimester during pregnancy is considered pathological.
yellow slime
(in the second trimester or at another time) almost always talk about pathology. The most common cause of their appearance is inflammation or infection. Note that it is the second trimester that is the most favorable time for the treatment of such processes. Often, the expectant mother is prescribed antimicrobial and antibacterial agents. What medications can eliminate discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester? Photos of some drugs will be presented to your attention. The most commonly used drugs are in the form of suppositories based on metronidazole. Oral antibiotics with amoxicillin may also be given.
In some situations during pregnancy in the second trimester are normal. They may appear due to allergies to synthetic fabrics or new intimate hygiene products.
Thrush
White discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester almost always becomes a sign of thrush. In this case, the mucus acquires the consistency of cottage cheese, it can fall out in pieces or periodically liquefy. The expectant mother feels a burning sensation, itching, discomfort. Note that more than half of the fairer sex are faced with thrush while waiting for the baby.
Treatment of thrush is a must. Usually, expectant mothers are recommended oral medications (Flucostat, Diflucan) or vaginal suppositories (Terzhinan, Pimafucin). It is also possible to use folk remedies, but doctors strongly advise against experimenting.
Water
Abundant liquid, water-like discharge in the second trimester of pregnancy is sometimes a bad sign. At the end of this period, there is already a sufficient amount of amniotic fluid in the woman's uterus. For some reason, it may pour out or begin to leak already at this stage. In this situation, the expectant mother needs to urgently call emergency help. With timely access to doctors, there is a chance to keep the pregnancy for a few more weeks (until the moment when the child is viable). Otherwise, the woman begins premature birth.
Second trimester of pregnancy: brown discharge
If the expectant mother notices drops of blood on her underwear during the second trimester, then this may be a signal of various pathologies. So, in the presence of erosion on the cervix after sexual intercourse, a pink liquid may be noted. The same discharge occurs after examination by a doctor with the help of mirrors.
If a woman has been previously diagnosed, spotting may be a concomitant symptom. With them, you need to consult a doctor and follow all the recommendations.
Brown can be the result of detachment of the fetal egg. The resulting hematoma simply opened up and began to come out. If a woman notes heavy bleeding, accompanied by weakness, then it is necessary to call a medical ambulance. Most likely, we are talking about the exfoliation of a child's place. Almost always in this case there are In the second trimester (the photo of which is presented to you), this condition is dangerous because it can lead to death.
Summarize
You have learned what discharge occurs in the middle of pregnancy. It is worthwhile to carefully monitor your well-being throughout the entire period of bearing a child. Follow your doctor's advice and don't self-medicate. At the slightest disturbing symptoms, contact a qualified specialist for advice.
Remember that now you are responsible not only for your health, but also for the life of the unborn baby. Easy pregnancy and childbirth on time!
Throughout pregnancy, a woman may be disturbed by discharge of a different nature and intensity. In the absence of accompanying symptoms, they are a normal state of the body, due to ongoing changes. But in some cases, their appearance is accompanied by a number of unpleasant symptoms. In this case, the help of a specialist is required.
Discharge during pregnancy is mucous. In the second trimester, they are odorless, and there is also no color. Also, whites are not accompanied by such unpleasant symptoms as itching, burning or pain.
Their occurrence occurs due to changes in the hormonal background, as a result of which the production of estrogen in the body increases.
Such secretions, even in cases where they become quite abundant, are not considered pathological. But in certain cases, their manifestation may indicate leakage of the amniotic sac. To exclude such a process in the body, a woman should consult a doctor.
Thus, transparent discharge in the second trimester of pregnancy, if they are not accompanied by unpleasant sensations, are not pathological and are considered a normal state of the body. That is why the expectant mother should not worry about this.
Second trimester of pregnancy is an important step. During this period, a woman not only feels changes. The stomach begins to grow, edema of the lower extremities is observed. Also at this stage, the selection takes on a different character. They can be white, watery, red or brown. Whites of this nature are considered pathological, and their occurrence requires diagnostics.
watery
Whiteness that stands out like water in the 2nd trimester, accompanied by an unpleasant odor similar to the smell of rotten fish, indicates the presence of vaginosis. They are caused by bacteria.
The disease is diagnosed in every fifth woman, and leucorrhea is excreted as a result of changes in the composition of the vaginal microflora.
The main symptoms of vaginosis are:
- Bad smell. Increases after intimacy.
- Itching in the perineum.
- Sticky and liquid discharge. In severe cases, the disease may have a greenish tint.
- Pain during intercourse, urination. Localized in the lower abdomen.
The danger of liquid milk whites for pregnant women is that bacteria can cross the placenta and infect the fetus. Lack of therapy leads to rupture of the membranes and premature birth.
Brown
Brown discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester indicates the presence of a violation of placental activity. During this period, the process of detachment of the placenta may begin. You can identify the occurrence of such a condition by the following symptoms:
- Violation of the heart rhythm of the fetus.
- Excessive tension of the uterus.
- Bleeding.
- Pain in the uterine region that radiates to the lumbar region.
The child begins to experience oxygen deficiency. With complete detachment of the placenta, intrauterine fetal death occurs.
In the 2nd trimester, the appearance of brown discharge also indicates the presence of inflammation, when the pathological process affects the organs of the reproductive system.
In the event of the appearance of brown whites, a woman should urgently consult a doctor.
White
White discharge in the middle of pregnancy has a curdled consistency and an unpleasant sour smell. They talk about the presence of thrush. This is a bacterial infection that is dangerous for pregnant women. The disease is a fungal infection in which pathogenic microorganisms can cause the development of chronic inflammatory processes.
The thrush has a number of features:
- Curdled, and in some cases, copious discharge during pregnancy.
- Leucorrhea is accompanied by itching and burning in the perineum.
- The skin in the genital area and the mucous membrane acquire a red tint, swell.
When establishing thrush, a woman needs treatment, since the fungus is able to penetrate the placenta and infect the fetus. After childbirth, the child has a lesion of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and eyes. In children born before the due date, the disease becomes the cause of death.
Treatment is carried out with the help of antifungal drugs, the choice of which is carried out by the attending physician. Self-medication can lead to serious consequences.
Thus, if white discharge smells during pregnancy in the second trimester, a pregnant woman should consult a specialist.
Pink and red
Bloody discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester is also not normal. If there are blood inclusions in the whites, then there is a danger for the child and the body of the expectant mother. Often, discharge of this nature indicates placenta previa or miscarriage.
In addition, bleeding during pregnancy indicates the presence of an infectious or erosive lesion, placental abruption. If whiteness of red or pink color appears, a pregnant woman should urgently consult a specialist.
yellow-green
Jelly-like greenish or yellowish discharge in the 2nd trimester is a symptom of a sexually transmitted disease or an inflammatory process that affects the ovaries or fallopian tubes.
The discharge itself is odorless or with it, but with a green or yellow tint, does not pose a danger to the body. A threat to the baby and expectant mother is a disease that causes unpleasant symptoms. If these symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor. Timely medical assistance will help to avoid serious consequences.
The appearance of a light green tint in the whites indicates the presence of an exacerbation of existing infectious diseases. Symptoms are caused by:
- Inflammatory process affecting the tissues of the vagina. Accompanying symptoms are discomfort in the perineum, itching and burning.
- Inflammation of the fallopian tubes or ovaries. Accompanied by red or greenish discharge.
- Violation of the microflora of the vagina. It manifests itself in the form of an unpleasant odor. On underwear, the discharge dries up and forms crusts.
- Sexual infections. Abundant discharge, having a frothy consistency. accompanied by discomfort.
- Gonorrhea or ureplasma. Unpleasant symptoms are pronounced, accompanied by discomfort, burning and itching.
- Candidiasis. The discharge has a curdled consistency with a slight greenish tint.
- bacterial infections. Beli thick, appear in small quantities.
Green discharge also worries women with insufficient hygiene of the genital organs, prolonged use of antibiotics, trauma to the mucous membrane, and improper douching.
Whites of yellow or green color in pregnant women are not the norm. When they occur, it is necessary to identify the cause, and begin treatment. Lack of therapy in certain cases can cause serious complications and consequences.
Allocations scare expectant mothers, because they often indicate various pathologies. In the second trimester of pregnancy, discharge is a natural phenomenon, but you need to know what is considered normal and when to worry. Let's talk?
Discharge during pregnancy should always be treated with caution. During this period, it is important to respond to the problem in time in order to exclude a negative impact on the unborn baby. Expectant mothers are especially frightened by the discharge that suddenly appears in the second trimester, despite the fact that there was nothing like this in the first weeks. Should I be worried?
Normal: clear, white, watery discharge
Vaginal discharge in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy is a common occurrence, even heavy discharge is the norm. It is important that they do not cause discomfort. Normally, vaginal discharge does not cause burning and itching, and is odorless. In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, a clear or whitish discharge usually appears. It is considered a variant of the norm if they acquire a watery consistency, because estrogen is actively produced in the body, which thins the mucus. If transparent discharges have a specific smell, and whites acquire a curd consistency, then this already indicates problems.
With the sudden appearance of discharge, it is advisable to consult a doctor, even if there are no alarming factors: pregnancy is the period when it is better to play it safe twice in matters of health.
Yellow discharge: what do they indicate
During pregnancy, you should be wary if yellow discharge suddenly appears, they most often indicate the presence of a serious infection or inflammation, which is dangerous even in the 2nd trimester. Noticing yellow discharge, it is worth visiting a gynecologist. It is necessary to immediately make an appointment if the discharge has acquired a dark yellow hue, pain has appeared during urination. Often this indicates a serious illness. Allocations of bright yellow color indicate inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system.
Yellow vaginal discharge can also appear for “harmless” reasons: for example, as a manifestation of an allergic reaction to hygiene products, synthetic underwear.
Why does bleeding occur?
In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, expectant mothers are especially worried about spotting. And for good reason: the blood that appeared on the underwear in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, in most cases, indicates a pathology that is dangerous to the life and health of the child and mother. Allocations with an admixture of blood can appear with injuries of the genitourinary system, the formation of polyps, myomas, uterine erosion, and severe inflammatory processes. During pregnancy, bloody discharge (not only abundant, but also meager) in the second trimester may indicate placenta previa. Sometimes the reason lies in the growth of placental tissue.
Even slight bleeding in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy is an occasion to urgently consult a doctor. The appearance of discharge with blood does not always indicate pathological processes, but in most cases the cause is serious, and the sooner it is detected, the better for both mother and baby.
pink discharge
You should be wary if pink discharge appears during pregnancy, they are especially dangerous in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Even a meager selection of pink should alert you, you can not ignore them. About discharges that are not a variant of the norm, it is necessary to inform the doctor. Most often, the pink color of the discharge indicates obstetric pathology, for example, placental abruption. If such discharge appears after sex, then erosion can be suspected.
Thick dark discharge
In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, dark discharge may appear, they are considered to be pathological. Usually, the brown discharge that sometimes accompanies the 2nd trimester of pregnancy is thick. Most often, they indicate that violations have occurred in the “work” of the placenta, for example, it began to exfoliate or grow. The 2nd trimester of pregnancy is not the time to ignore the signals from your body, when you see brown discharge, you need to urgently consult a doctor before serious bleeding begins. In the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, light brown discharge may appear from time to time if the expectant mother has erosion, inflammation, and an infectious disease. An unambiguous answer about the causes of discharge, which is not the norm, can only be given by a doctor.
Attentive women during the period of waiting for the baby notice any changes that occur in their body. In particular, after the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, many expectant mothers are faced with the appearance of vaginal discharge, which can cause them great anxiety and anxiety.
In fact, usually this phenomenon between 14 and 27 weeks is a variant of the norm. To understand whether it is really not dangerous to the health of a woman in an “interesting” position and the unborn child, you need to know what are the normal discharges during pregnancy in the second trimester, and if there are any signs, you should immediately contact the antenatal clinic.
What discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester is considered normal?
During the normal course of pregnancy in women in the second trimester, mucous secretions are observed, which are practically colorless and odorless, and do not cause pain, burning, itching and other uncomfortable sensations. The appearance of a secret of this nature is explained by a change in the hormonal balance and, in particular, a significant increase in the concentration of estrogens in the blood of the expectant mother.
Such discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester, even if they are plentiful, should not cause much concern. Meanwhile, in rare cases, such an unpleasant symptom may indicate a violation such as leakage of amniotic fluid, therefore, if there are suspicions, it is imperative to conduct an appropriate test and, if necessary, undergo a detailed examination.
If the discharge from the vagina in the middle of the waiting period for the baby takes on a different character, it is necessary to immediately inform the gynecologist about this, since such a situation may be the result of serious health problems that threaten the normal course of pregnancy.
Pathological discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester
The appearance of pathological discharge at the indicated gestational age is usually explained by the following reasons:
- White discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester, which resemble a curdled mass and have an unpleasant sour smell, in almost all cases indicate an exacerbation of the vaginal or thrush. While waiting for a baby, this common disease can be dangerous, so it must be treated under the supervision of a gynecologist.
- Watery discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester, which are distinguished by the characteristic smell of "rotten fish", indicate the presence of bacterial vaginosis. If this disease is accompanied by the presence of pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen, the risk of abortion is quite high, so this disease should be taken seriously.
- Yellow or green discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester, in most cases, they are an unfavorable sign and indicate the presence of serious diseases. So, they can appear as a result of the development of any sexually transmitted disease, as well as an active inflammatory process in the ovaries or fallopian tubes.
- brown discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester, they usually indicate a violation of the activity of the placenta, which at this time may begin to exfoliate. In addition, sometimes such an unpleasant symptom may be the result or the presence of inflammation of the reproductive system.
- Red or pink discharge during pregnancy in the second trimester always cause serious concern in women who are waiting for the birth of a new life. This is not surprising, because they contain blood, and this is an unfavorable sign, often threatening the life and health of the fetus and the expectant mother herself. Meanwhile, in some cases, such discharge may appear after an intimate relationship of the spouses or a gynecological examination and be of a short-term nature that does not carry any danger.
