Probably normal: increase in discharge can be normal during any time in pregnancy. It can also be a sign of a developing vaginal or bladder infection and should be discussed with your ob at your next appt to be safe

Through thick & thin: The thinning of the cervical mucous occurs prior to ovulation in mid cycle. Overt pregnancy causes a thickening of the cervical mucous forming a "plug" to prevent the access of bacteria to the cervical opening and the pregnancy. Regardless of texture the cervical mucous "stays with you always".

None: There is no consistent discharge that is generally associated with pregnancy. Due to early hormonal changes you may experience an increase in a clear mucousy discharge but this is variable and can be due to other thinghs.
