it could be a yeast infection

The only way a yeast infection itches is if you scratch or rub your vag aggressively in hopes of soothing the itch. does the discharge have a smell?

I know the discharge is normal since you are in your third trimester it happens. But the itchy and mucus I had that at the beginning of my second pregnancy too and I never had it with my first one I went to the doctors to see what it was but I went to a clinic and said they couldn't see me or treat me because I was pregnant, which is dumb, but I asked what it could be and they said it sounds like a yeast infection. A yeast infection is more common in pregnant woman. I didn't do anything about it and in a couple of days it went away but the itching was sooo bad they say to just sleep with no underwear and it will go away don't sleep with your underwear with all the mucus it will make it worse and won't go away just shower down there as much as you can it will go away

You can use a anti-itch cream, like monistat or vagisal. I get itchy on the outside exactly one day after i have sex. I use the cream quite often.

I'm not that far along but I've had a yeast infection and that sounds like what you have. Call your doctor for meds or look up home remedies to treat it.

It just means your dilating if you start having contractions try to time them or you can go to l&d to get checked thats what I did

It might be the start of you losing your mucous plug. Hopefully labor will happen soon! =)
