Listen to Amanda and wait to hear from the nurse before taking any action. Try putting some aquaphore there to help relieve the itching. It's just like a diaper rash medication and will not harm the baby. It is a topical and should NOT be put inside your vagina.
Congrats on the baby.

Could be a yeast infection, but probably not if it is clear.
Rinse with at 10% vinegar solution which will help return the pH to normal and works to kill yeast. IF that makes it worse you need to go the other way, dissolve some baking soda in water and rinse with that (baking soda is an alkali).
There are also feminine itch powders, I don't know what is in them but they are likely safe. I would discuss them with a paharmacist

Sounds like you may have an infection, maybe Thrush/or yeast infection, you will need to talk to your Doctor or midwife as I'm not sure a pharmacist will just hand over the creams if your pregnant.

If there is no smell there probably is not an infection, but just to be safe you do need to get checked. You do want to be sure NOT to douche.
Think of your self as a self cleaning over, especailly if you are pregnant. Your body is well equipped to take care of itself.

sounds like a yeast infection, what ever you do don't go out and by the OTC meds, it's not safe for us pregnant women, your going to have to see a doctor about this one because some of those medications to treat that stuff can harm the fetus and make your body regect the baby. I'd say get some ice and try to cool it off down there, I know yeast infections suck.

try putting a damp, clean cloth in your underwear, the coolness will temporarily help. probably have a yeast infection - v. common in pregnancy
you need checked out and get some cream
also eat probiotic type yogurt which can help

Discharge is one thing. Itchy discharge is another. It does sound like an infection. Call your doctor asap. You will probably need antibiotics, but unless he says otherwise, don't get an OTC med.

id say a yeast infection, even though it may not smell, id get checked, because it could also be Bacterial Vaginonsis which is really bad,it could cause preterm labour, i had that at 28 weeks

Sounds like you should get checked. Your mucus plug may be dissolving, which happens before labor or you may have an infection or a ph imbalance.

Maybe you have a yeast infection, check with your doctor to see.
