Answer 1

YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR OB AND ASK. COULD BE AN INFECTION

Answer 2

A yeast infection can lead to yellowish discharge. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have had 2 so far..no fun. But green discharge is another type of infection and since it has an odor, you should def. call your doctor and explain the situation. It is good that you've noticed this because sometimes the hormonal changes occurring can cause you not to feel the slight pain associated with these infections. Make sure you mention it. It is nothing deadly, but left untreated might cause more harm. Take care and good luck!

Answer 3

Normal vaginal discharge is called leukorrhea. While leukorrhea is normal for all women, pregnant women often notice increased leukorrhea. This discharge is usually whitish in color and has a mucous-like consistency.

Is it my imagination or do I have a lot more vaginal discharge now?




It's not your imagination. It's quite common to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy. What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea — the odorless or mild-smelling milky fluid discharge that you occasionally found 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.

You'll probably notice more vaginal discharge as you approach labor, though it's likely to look somewhat different from the flow you've become accustomed to. In very early pregnancy, cervical secretions filled your cervical canal and created a protective barrier — the so-called mucus plug. As your cervix begins to efface (thin out) and dilate, it may expel this mucus, and you'll notice discharge that looks like egg white or mucus from a runny nose on a cold day. Or, you may even expel the plug in one gelatinous glob. This discharge might be tinged with a bit of blood.

If there's a lot of thin, clear discharge, it can be hard for you tell whether it's just mucus or you're leaking amniotic fluid. If you have any doubt, call your midwife or doctor. And if you notice an increase in discharge or a change in the type of discharge before 37 weeks, especially if it's watery, mucus-like, or bloody (even if it's just tinged with pink or brownish old blood), call your practitioner right away, as it can be a sign of preterm labor.

Is there anything I can do about it?
There's nothing you can do to stop the flow, but you can use pantiliners to absorb it if you need to. (Don't use tampons during pregnancy.) To keep your genital area healthy, keep it clean, always wipe from front to back, wear cotton underwear, and avoid tight pants, nylons, bubble bath, scented pads or toilet paper, and scented or deodorant soaps.

And don't douche — doctors and midwives discourage douching during pregnancy because in rare cases it can introduce air into your circulatory system through the vagina, which can cause serious complications. What's more, douching can upset the normal balance of vaginal flora and increase your risk of vaginitis.


How can I tell when I have an infection?
If you have an odorless whitish discharge that's causing you discomfort such as itching or burning, or your vulva looks inflamed, you might well have a yeast infection. If your discharge ever becomes foul-smelling, or frothy or yellow, green, or gray in appearance (even without symptoms of irritation, itching, or burning), you might have a different kind of vaginitis or a sexually transmitted infection. In any case, you should see your practitioner for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment."

Answer 4

Could be the start of a yeast infection - **Edit: Could just be a normal discharge for you then - we go through all sorts of discharges during pregnancy most of which are harmless

Answer 5

Most likely it is thrush which is very common in pregnancy.
Unfortunately the most effective treatment of thrush, an oral tablet, can not be taken during pregnancy and you will have to use a cream or pessary instead. Hopefully this will do the job but in some cases,(like mine) the thrush recurs throughout the pregnancy and will dissapear with the use of an oral tablet after the birth.
Obviously you need to see your doctor to take some tests but it almost defenitely is thrush.

Answer 6

Yellowish or whitish in color is normal. This called leukoria and is seen by most pregnant women throughout the pregnancy.

Greenish....with odor......not normal. That could signal a sexually transmitted disease or vaginal infection. You will want to get that checked out. Or at least talk to a nurse over the phone.

Answer 7

Yellow and Green discharge, esp. with an odor, is something to see your doctor about SOON. It sounds like infection and only your doctor can verify. You don't want to wait and have it affect your baby.

Call your doctor. Your appointment can be pushed earlier under the circumstances.

Answer 8

Some discharge is normal during pregnancy, but if it is foul smelling like you are describing, it might be a sign of a yeast infection. I would see your doc

Answer 9

Sounds like a yeast infection...super common during pregnancy. Call your doctor.

Answer 10

discharge is normal, smelly discharge is not call and tell the office and see if you can be seen on monday.
