Where is this coming from?

I am 21 weeks pregnant. I have been seeing my obgyn regularly and I did have my initial pap smear done which came back normal. No STDs and no infections. But I was afraid I did have some type of infection because before I got pregnant I was having weird discharge and an odor. Now that I know I have nothing I'm not sure why I still have this odor. Even after I shower it is still there. It's not fishy but more like a metallicy smell like blood and it just doesnt seem normal to me but my doctoe does not seem concerned. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have the same issue, it wasn't as bad until pregnancy. Showers only help that evening I take one. My OB didn't mention anything and like above, unless it's itchy or has a cottage cheese consistency you most likely have nothing to worry about.

A metallic smell is normal,  I'm 1 8w1d and my cm still smells like that. But if you have itching,  burning,  or a bad odor and cm is like cottage cheese than its more than likely be a yeast infection and Monistat is safe to use during pregnancy.
