Yes: May pregnant women experience more vaginal discharge than normal. Many also leak a small amount of urine. A panty-line is fine.

Yes: You can wear them but sometimes they actually trap moisture and cause more irritation. Try changing your cotton underwear frequently and applying petroleum jelly to your labia.

Yes: Don't buy ones with too much scent or other additives as they may be irritating to that sensitive skin.

Yes: You can wear panty-liners in pregnancy as long as they have a cotton crotch. This will allow air to penetrate allowing for evaporation keeping you cooler.

Yes: There is usually an increase in the normal discharge during pregnancy. It is fine to use panty-liners, even every day. If your discharge is colored or has an odor, you will want to tell your doctor about it.
