Pregnancy Info HOME

Heavier discharge is normal in pregnancy, but you shouldn't have itching and a different odor. It sounds like you might have a yeast infection to me (I've had my fair share in my two pregnancies!). I would get checked out by your doctor and see if that isn't what it is. If you do have one you can just get a 7 day kit at Walmart to clear it up. You don't have to spend big $$ on a prescription, just ok it with your doctor that that's what you're going to do to take care of it. Also, getting some Cortizone (sp?) cream to put on the outside can relieve the itching. Yeast thrives in moist, dark places, so after you shower take a blow dryer and (on low and not directly) help dry things better down there and if you wear panty liners, change them often so it stays dry. Good luck- I know it's uncomfortable!

I had the same issue, and during one of my checkups they were doing a routine pap test and found some yeast cells, I did a 7 day (i admit was highly unpleasant but it's over now.) treatment from the drugstore and AMAZING difference! your doctor can just to a very simple swab test I think to diagnose.

hi my names mandy and im 18 weeks pregnant and oh yea i have had alot more discharge sense ive been pregnant and i was worried at first so i asked my doctor and she asked me if it itched,burned or smelled and i said no cause it hasnt and she told me i was fine but she also said if any of those signs happen to let her know cause ALOT of pregnant women get yeast infections so if i were you i would tell ur doctor again cause im not sure why they would say you were fine if there was itching and some odor so i hope i help in some way

i have been experiencing more than usual discharge, with no itch, but i have noticed a different smell to my coochy.. lol. not really bad, just different. could be cause i quit smoking recently too i suppose... but even my hubby noticed the difference in my scent.
