Lady Area smells different and so does Discharge - Normal or Infection?

I've noticed my smell down there has changed for maybe a couple of weeks (currently 32 weeks). My discharge smell has changed too - it doesn't smell 'off' like an infection but it does smell odd.
Apart from that, it's white and sticky.
I'm kinda assuming it would be a weird colour if I had a vaginal infection? I've had thrush on and off throughout this preg and this is not what thrush smells like (at least not in the past).

Also, I had a midwife appt on Friday and there was no protein in my urine - is protein an indicator of infection?

Is this just normal pregnancy third tri stuff?

Mine smelt a bit different during late pregnancy too... It wasn't till after the birth that I twigged it was because of the cod liver oil capsules I was taking! Presumably my body couldn't quite process the amount that I was taking and I was, er, weeing out the excess...

I had this, it smelt awful to me and I had to have regular showers! But there was nothing else, no itching or anything, and it stopped as soon as the baby was born.

I think it's just another weird part of pregnancy...because there's not enough of those obviously Hmm

Don't worry it's very normal. I get terrible white discharge during late PG, I had it with DS and am now experiencing the joy a second time! As long as you're not stingy and itchy it's fine.

I'm 24 weeks and from week 8 up untill a few weeks ago I noticed a weird smell. But not burning or itching just smelt different, I got really paranoid, it's wore off now, part of my thinks its because my sense of smell if stronger while pregnant, hopefully it's just another symptom us ladies are lumbered with lol.

I've had a lot more discharge than normal during pregnancy and it smells like wee! BlushI think it is normal, just changes in hormones.

I've got this at the mo do and did with my previous pregnancy too... I think it's a mix of heightened smelling senses and hormones making it smell different down there.

When I'm having a really queasy day it right turns my tummy.

Kind of rubbery smell.... Odd.

Toptack I'm taking fish oil capsules too! Wonder if that's got anything to do with it.
