O it's normal and unfortunately you will have more later in pregnancy. I am 30 weeks and 5days and It's very annoying and I have to change my underwear 2 or 3 times a day because I feel uncomfortable feeling the wet.
-What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea – the odorless or mild-smelling milky discharge that you may have noticed in your underwear before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it now, partly because of increased estrogen production and greater blood flow to the vaginal area. This discharge is made up of secretions from the cervix and vagina, old cells from the walls of the vagina, and normal bacterial flora from the vagina. and you get more the closer you get to labor

I had this and was told its normal, joy of hormones! If it starts smelling then see your doctor.
