So embarrassing but...

Had to name change for this as I feel so embarrassed!
I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and constantly wet/sweating down below, it smells! It's not an infection or std or anything!
Just wondered if anyone else has/had this and does it go? What can I do?!
Don't even want my partner near me. Blush

Im thinking of getting theses. I get sore after a while with pads but this discharge keeps making me feel like I have wet myself. I am almost 14wks. I keep getting thrush as well which peaks but doesnt fully go away.

Was meant to add link. I too am changing knickers in the day.

Yep this is happening to me as well. Im 30 weeks and having to change my pants twice a day.

Doesn't get any better when you start to wee yourself as well Blush

Wash your clothes with a antibacterial washing powder (one you would use for sports clothes) to make sure odour is eliminated from your clothes and not increasing the problem.

Thanks everyone, feel a lot better now I know I'm not the only one. I always feel paranoid at work thinking I smell! Going on the hunt today for supplies to help with this situation 😂

Out of interest, those who have this do you know what you're having? It's just I didn't have this with DD and I'm having a boy this time, I wondered if the hormones were different.

I had this (and had a DD 5 weeks ago @Oysterbabe) towards the end of my pregnancy, they didn't find any infection in me either.

I wore cotton knickers and sprayed anti perspirant around the area (like outside my knickers) but I think it was just the extra weight and hormones etc

I'd definitely not wear a scented pad, maybe get some of the thin maternity pads? They are very gentle!

Oh, and try air out when you can!

I've had this throughout my pregnancy, I'm 37 weeks. I tried using pads but ended up with thrush. I now just change my underwear regularly & remind myself it's not for much longer.
