Brief Answer:
This is normal mucous discharge

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about the discharge at 5 weeks pregnancy.

This discharge is excess mucous secretion. This is not water around baby or amniotic fluid.

There is nothing to worry about it.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Dr. Mahesh Koregol
