Why do I smell down there?

What causes a very strong vaginal odor during pregnancy? Does anyone else have this problem? I'm only 7 weeks in and hopefully this doesn't last the whole time.

It could be yeast infection or bv (bacteria vaginosis) both more common in pregnancy...doctors can prescribe medication

Change in hormones.  I've noticed a difference in smell,  not necessarily bad.  Also my urine smells different.

I read somewhere. It is caused by the change in mucus. The discharge you experience. Will change when your pregnant.
