A bit TMI so for the ladies that are able to stomach and handle please advise

So ladies everyone knows that you can have a lot more health issues occur during pregnancy. Also I know that discharge will take place to so here's my story.

I will be 6mths this Saturday! Yay me! And I have been discharging a great amount.. to the point if I don't wear liners my panties are ruined. Well I have a history of Bacterial Vaginosis and had an occurrence during this pregnancy. I was treated with the metrogel and it cleared of course but everyone knows it can always return. After treatment weeks later I caught an bladder infection. Which also is treated.

Now I am discharging heavily. No color or thickness (Like my bv where it was yellow and thick and snotty like) .. this is thin white which is normal the thing is there is a slight odor. But only when the discharge leaks into my panties but unlike the bv when I get intimate with my boyfriend there is no odor at all... and when I went to my prenatal visit I am assuming that I don't have anything because I got not concerned call like before. What could it be?

A slight odour can also be normal for some women and the discharge is just your vagina self cleaning, sometimes usuing scented soaps etc too much can agrivate your vagina and cause it to have more of a discharge, I wouldnt be worried about the odour as long as its not offensive, if your still worried just mention it the next time you have your appointment

White discharge is normal during pregnancy, yes even a lot is normal. Do you shower and wash yourself every day? Pregnancy and sweating go hand in hand so it could just be a mixture of your sweat and urine.

They don't normally check for yeast unless you complain of symptoms

That sounds like leukorrea which is normal during pregnancy. Google that term and see if that fits Ur case. It may ease Ur mind a little take care

But wouldn't they look for yeast infections in the check ups?! Like the Bladder and Bacterial Infections?

Could be the start of a yeast infection.  If you didn't mention it during your dr visit I doubt they would either since you didn't complain.  I would call Monday and see what they say. Good luck.
