Not so good smell
I takes bath but sometimes hrs or a day or two I get a very weried smell down there. What can I do abt it? My dr gave me some cream. Im 25 weeks at the start of my pregnancy this was not happen to me. I was also told its not an yest infaction.
Washing down there should be nothing too vigorous. Also, don't use a ph soap every day - just every other day tops, but wash with water every day. It is not the norm to stink down there and it's usually down to washing too vigourously or using scented products. There should be a slight smell, but it's nothing unpleasant. If you're washing right and still there's a bad smell, personally i'd be screened for any infection. Don't forget also guys, our sense of smell is heightened in pregnancy.
Omg I have the same issue! I thought I was the only one. I rinse myself like crazy downstairs and an hour later I feel like the smell comes back! I got tested and everything is fine... No yeast infection or anything! Idk what to do either. I'm only 9 weeks pregnant
yeah have a warm bath and dont wash, down there the vagina cleans its self naturally. i know the smell is minging but its all part of pregnancy..

WAIT so do thar meabs I should take a bath with stright water & to not add nothing to it
I agree w/ not using anything with perfumes or scented things. This can either cause problems or make existing problems worse.
It is normal to get an increase in discharge when pregnant, which can of course, cause more odor. I used to take 2 showers a day or a shower in the morning and a bath in the evening. When I took a 2nd shower, I'd just use a shower cap so I didn't have to deal with wet hair again, but that's what helped me feel more "fresh", I guess you could say.

Could well be the scented stuff you're using, and feminine wipes and deodorants are a no no. Best thing is to use an unscented ph neutral soap. If it doesn't improve, then get screened for utis, if that draws a blank, have a swab taken. There will be a reason for it - it's just finding it x
I agree with marchbahygirl...
Don't use any fragrance or perfume vagina has it natural hormone to cleans itself.

its prob thrush.. stop using the femmine wipes as it irritates it and don't use bubble bath.. i suffer too and it helps trust :)
There isnt much to do but clean down there good and what i did was i got a squirt bottle type thing from my dr and instead of using toilet paper after i used the bathroom i would fill the bottle up with warm water and use that
