Strange smell?

Hey everyone. It's past midnight and I can't sleep due to worrying. :( I'm a first time mom.

I know discharge is normal in pregnancy. It isn't odd colored or anything. No burning, pain, nothing. But sometimes when I go to the bathroom I notice a smell. Idk what it could be or what to do. I see the doctor again the 16th but don't want to let it just fester just in case. I'm asking here to see if anybody might know what it is or what to do?

Same happened to be but although I came negative for a yeast infection and stuff. I'm taking treatment because I couldn't help but notice a really bad smell.

Good idea, thanks! I have no other symptoms of any infection so it makes sense. If it doesn't improve I'll tell my doctor at my next visit. :) I feel better now lol

I had the same thing! I tested negative for any infections but still had a funky smell so I was told by my dr that it would be okay to do a one day treatment of monistat so did that and it cleared right up!

I would say it's just hormones changing the pH balance down there. I think it's normal and if it's bothering you that much you can also use those sensitive washes for just down there.
