itchy undercarriage (quite poss tmi)

[shmuf]

17 weeks pregnant and undercarriage is super itchy every now and then through the day. Lots and lots of clearish (can be yellowy) discharge that sometimes gets a bit whiffy..any clues as to what this could be?!

thrush i would expect...

would agree sounds like thrush

UTI. See GP as you might need antibiotics.

Thrush shouldn't be smelly, should it? As you're unsure what it is, see your GP - you could make things worse by using thrush cream if it's not that.

Thrush smells a little bit sweet and normally is a white thick discharge. Could be bacterial vaginosis if its a bit whiffy. Doctor will probably need to get a swab to be sure. Pregnancy causes all sorts if chaos with your vaginal chemistry so best get it seen too.

Thanks guys.got an appt with gp to check it out

oh you poor thing, i had exactly the same about 4 weeks ago. whiffy, bit yellowy discharge at first wipe in the morning and a right itch. gp diagnosed a UTI, easily fixed by antibiotics. as a result of these i got a bout of thrush a week later (very common in pregnancy, especially after antibiotics) and i had to get another prescription for canestan as the pharmacist wouldn't sell me the cream over the counter due to being pregnant. as it was a saturday i had to call the out of hours gp and got a prescription sorted over the phone, so no need for them to look at my foof (thankfully as it was a bit red raw from the itch and i get easily embarrassed).

don't hesitate in calling your gp, they will most probably ask for a urine sample rather than a swab, i was mortified but was so relieved when it was sorted and soon realised it's so common so no need to blush xx
