Embarassing question?

Question

I am 24 weeks pregnant and the last few weeks I have noticed a different smell down there. It is enough to make me want to change my underware twice a day. Is this normal? I know it is a gross question, but I was curiose if anyone else had this happen. Could it be the discarge is changing so the smell changes too? Thanks

Answer 1

That is very normal. I would not worry about it.
If you would feel better, get the lightweight maxi pads and an FDS spray to help you feel a little fresher.
Don't douche!
Congrats on the baby and good luck Hon!

Answer 2

Yes, in most cases it is nothing to worry about, but if you notice a fishy odor; a greenish color,or have pain and itching this could be the beginning of a yeast infection. In such cases see your OB ASAP, when I was pregnant I noticed a very thick almost mucus like discharge, and asked my OB if there was something wrong, he informed me many women notice changes in their vaginal discharge, and that was quite normal. Hope this helps.

i would get checked, seriously even if everybody says its fine, at 22 weeks i think i was, i strated getting this discharge, and i put it off, then i had this odd smell, and still put it off, then came slight cramping, well i finally went into my ob and they did a test, turns out i had "vaginosious bacterium" or something like that, its extremly dangerous, and it can happen to anyone, just part of being pregnant, but seriously, it can cause preterm labor, and alot of other complications, i would really get checked, its not something you want to deal with, and ill give you advice, get cream soda, if they give you these white round pills because there disgusting, and the only thing i noticed seemed to dull the taste a little was creame soda

Answer 4

You're fine. Happens to the best of us. As long as there is no weird discharge to go with it

Don't know if you noticed or not, but your body probably isn't very normal right now. All the different horomones and stress cause the vagina to secrete different smells and discharge. Wear panty liners. It'll save on laundry.

Answer 5

It could be an infection. I had 2 of them when I was pregnant with my daughter. Mention it to your doctor. They will probably give you an antibiotic. Get it taken care of as soon as you can.
I had no odor changes except when I had the 2 infections.

Answer 6

is your discharge a different texture than normal? is it a different color as well? if so, you may have an infection that needs to be taken care of with antibiotics. most are safe to take with baby in utero. it could also just be your hormones taking a wild turn for the worse. you're almost done!!

Answer 7

This is definitely a doctor question. I don't think there should be a smell (i don't remember one), you might have some sort of infection that needs to be addressed. But you need to see a doctor.
-Good luck

Answer 8

Normal hormonal changes in your body.
It happened to my wife, about three or four months into her pregnancy.

Oddly, she didn't notice it...I did.
Not very nice, but you know, I love my wife so I put up with it.
Got a damn fine son out of the deal, though!

Answer 9

i dont think the smell is normal..you might want to call your ob..now the discharge will change..but im 27 weeks and i havent had a smell and the ob told me if i was to get one to call them b.c it could be an infection...good luck and congrats..

It could be a yeast infection, or some sort of other infection. Talk with your doc about this at your next visit, they may be able to prescribe something for you to use.
