Me too. I got treated for UTI and yeast infection early on and the retest come back clean so I know I'm good. But with all the discharge at this stage of my pregnancy I just feel wet and smelly all the time. Taking shower more, change undies thru out the day and make those wet wipes my best buddy, lol.

To me is sounds like it could be bacterial vaginosis, which is a vaginal infection. It isn't an std or anything along those lines, the symptoms you guys are explaining sound exactly like what I experienced when I got BV... I got it a few times reoccuringly before I got pregnant and I have read it is very common to get while pregnant and I am surprised I haven't gotten it again yet. Mine was caused my over washing "down there" and then my body was over compensating for the lack of natural bacteria I had down there. I'm not sure how they treat it when you're preggo but I have taken oral antibiotics for it as well as intervaginal gel. Any kind of dirty-ish, fishy-ish or oniony smell is most likely BV. It goes away within a week or so.  Best of luck to you :)

I am so glad I am not the only one lol. I never had this issue with my son and I have talked to my ob doctor and everything and he's checked a few times and no infections. He said some women just have this issue. I feel so gross tho I will not let my man touch me at all.

Definitely get it checked with your doc to make sure there isn't an infection, however my last appointment I was checked and no infection or anything. My doc said odor is mostly outside, I now use the vagisil wash. It has seriously helped! I was so embarrassed about it especially with my hubby. Glad I'm not the only one though.

Im going throught the same experience. I didn't have this with my daughter I shower constantly to. Im paranoid others can smell me . It doesn't itch down there so I don't think its a yeast infection.

I am the same.way. I told my husband "I have to.shower I smell like I've just had sex" and he said "Uh weird we haven't.had.sex in four days". I wonder if mine could be an.infection?  But I've had it.my entire pregnancy and I'm 32 weeks they would have found it by now.with all the papsmears and urine samples right?!

It's really weird ocassionally I get this discharge that smells like onions I didn't have it with my son and I don't know what it is but not a yeast infection. I have to shower all the time like sometimes twice a day.

Smelly isn't a common pregnancy symptom, but definitely an infection of some sort, and serious business when you're pregnant! I went into preterm labor with my son because of an untreated infection. So call, move your appt. up if you can and get it checked out!! Good luck hun!

I am too and have been with all three pregnancies. Idk about you but mine smells like after you have sex, even when we don't have sex or I could get outta the shower and an hour later I have that smell.
