No: Discharge is common during pregnancy, esp. after any sort of a vaginal exam (such as a Pap smear.) Don't worry please, contact your live OB doctor if it worsens.

A member asked:

Colposcopy showed CIN II. Last year it was CIN I. All other Paps were clear. Dr wants me to get LEEP or Laser. Is it crucial I do this now, or can I wait to see if it clears on it's own over the next 6-12 months? Worried for hurting pregnancy chances
