However, if the discharge is accompanied by itching and has a thick, cottage cheese-like consistency or appearance, it’s not normal and needs treatment.

This is a normal type of discharge.

SIGNS OF ABORTION/MISCARRIAGE
Abortion is a medical term for the disruption of a pregnancy before the fetus reaches its viable age of more than 20 to 24 weeks of gestation or weighs at least 500g. It is the loss of pregnancy and does not reffer on why the pregnancy was lost. Abortion which occurs on its own (spontaneously) is known as Miscarriage and if a woman has 3 consecutive miscarriages it is term habitual or recurrent abortion. If you notice the following signs seek health care attention immediately;
Vaginal spotting. Vaginal spotting appears as small brownish to reddish spots of bloodcoming out of the woman’s va**nal opening. This usually occurs when the cervix slightly dilates because the woman may have tried to lift heavy objects or mild trauma to the abdomen occurred.
Vaginal bleeding. Bleedingis a serious occurrence during pregnancy because it might indicate that the cervix has opened and products of conception might be expelled.
