Ectopic pregnancy and increased vaginal discharge: Sometimes increased vaginal discharge in early pregnancy could be a sign of ectopic pregnancy, a condition in which the embryo is placed some where else, instead of being in the womb. If you feel the discharge is too much, you might want to speak with a doctor.

Sometimes increased discharge could also mean that there’s some infection in the body. Do go in for a check up if you have excessive discharge when you’re not pregnant to rule out bacterial vaginosis or yeast infection.
