Discharge can cause a smell. Bv,yeast, pH balance these are all things that come with pregnancy unfortunately. Do get checked for a infection and atop using the douche. Try soaking with a small amount of vinger or epsen salt. Don't use any fregant soap PR sprays down there it can make it worse. If ur not drinking plenty water and u take prenatal vitamins that always can effect ur urine and cause a smell. Good luck

Definitely get checked for bv. A yeast infection does sometimes have an odor but it shouldn't be foul selling like you describe.  Bv generally cause bad odor. There can be many different strands too

Ask your dr to check you for (bv) bacterial vagisnosis... Its simular to a yeast infection and if you do have it your partner should be treated as well.

Haha I'm told that it's normal because I'm pregnant but I'm like really, she's not here yet so how can I smell here? Lmao I'm 33 weeks now.

You should tell your doctor about it. Could be an infection. Also like the other ladies said douching is not recommended and can throw off the natural balance of ph in your vagina

Maybe an infection. Or hormonal changes. Can your bf or husband smell it too? And douching is not a good idea that can cause infection.

It could be a yeast infection, they are more common during pregnancy. And you aren't suppose to douce while pregnant
