List of infections?

Does anyone know where you can get a list of infections you can get while pregnant. I had it bookmarked but somehow lost it. I like to keep up with things changing and want to always make sure I don't need to call my doctor. I'm one of those - OMG WHAT IS THAT- kinda people lol :)

I'm asking because I've noticed that my discharge is changing... AGAIN. I know that the increase is normal during pregnancy and the further along you are. I'm 35 weeks now. And for about 3-4 weeks I've had the lumps and stringy discharge that just resembles rubber/snot. It got stringy for a while but lately it's forming little lumps again. It's been normal looking. No itching, burning, etc... Well yesterday my discharge was so bad that I had to wipe constantly. It was heavy and still creamy looking but also thin and very slightly watery... Last night came around and a clump of discharge came out that had a slight pale greenish color to it. More yellowy/white though. I figured I was getting an infection of some sort. Maybe a yeast infection? Well it stopped and went back to heavy/thin discharge. This morning I got up and had the lump of discharge again. When I say lump, I don't mean like cottage cheese.. I mean it was about the size of nickel.

I have a doctors appointment Monday and will get them to check for infections.. but I'd still like the list if anyone can point me in that direction :)

No odor or anything like that either. Maybe if it is an infection it is JUST starting and it'll let me get to the doctor Monday so he can give me something for it.

Hmmm I am not sure exactly where to go for the list. I would try googling it! It very well could be just the change in your body but it does sound like it could be the start of a yeast infection as well... Best thing to do is have the dr check it out! Its a good sign there is no burning or itching. Is there any odor?
