A little gross but I've read it's common.

I've noticed a different smell down there. Especially after sex but it's kinda fishy? Not too strong but definitely a smell. I've had tests and it's not bv and I don't have any other type of infection.  Any ladies have the same problem?  What helps? I clean very well down there.

Yeah...I know exactly what you mean.  It's kind of gross.  :/  I started using Summer's Eve feminine wash about every other day, but only on the outside part of my vagina, never on the inside.  Using soap on the inside can kill the good bacteria and cause a yeast infection, which you definitely don't want during pregnancy.  Unless I have a really busy, sweaty day, this seems to take care of most of the ugly odor.

yea my dr checked me everything is normal. But yes I was thinking maybe the feminine washes. I use regular body wash and soap but maybe just a little extra something thank u ladies. And no I don't sweat, I'm home all the time and it's cold where I'm at lol. Guess it's just another perk of pregnancy lol

Do u sweat down there ?

With all the hormones running rampant a new or different smell can be normal. I noticed that with my first....not so much this time around. As long as all tests come back ok just keep clean and dry as possible.

I find if i didnt have a shower in the morn sometimes by the end of the day theres a bit of an off smell.  I think its due to all the discharge, mucus etc. Our bodies are extracting!   I wouldnt be too worried just ask your doc about it at your next appointment.  If your experiencing itchiness then def go get it checked out!
