Do not concern too much.
It is common to have vaginal discharge in pregnancy. It is usually harmless, and not that different from the discharge that you had before you were pregnant.
Cause of this discharge is the increase in the levels of estrogen hormone and the additional flow of blood to the vaginal region.
However a colored discharge during pregnancy especially if it is accompanied with itching, burning sensations or a strong odor could be the symptom of a disease or an infection like bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis.
In such cases you have to go your gynecologist to rule out serious problems.
You should follow some advice:
Keeping the genital area clean and dry all times.
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after touching your genitals.
Wearing clothes and especially undergarments that are loose fitting and will not irritate the skin.
Stay healthy. Take care.
