TMI discharge question

I'm 16 weeks pregnant. During sex with my DH we noticed some weird discharge (from me) on the end of his penis - kind of pale yellow, cottage cheesey, no odour. Only a small amount and no other symptoms. I'm on holiday in France until Friday so getting checked out is going to be a pain in the arse. How worried should I be?

Could be a bacterial infection or thrush. I would get it checked out as soon as you can, if it is a bacterial infection and they give you antibiotics ask for thrush cream just incase as every time during my pregnancy I had antibiotics it was followed by thrush which the midwife said was normal and to expect it

I've had this and only knew about it after sex. It's thrush. I had no other symptoms. It's so so common in pregnancy. Enjoy your holiday and just ask for a swab test when you're back :)

Thrush and other issues tend to either come with itching, a weird colour (yellow/green) or a weird smell. Call your GP/midwife about it. I personally wouldn't be super worried about it.

Even if it is thrush it's not dangerous in pregnancy. No rush (usually rush from you because of itching!!!)

I had it with my last pregnancy and currently have it with this pregnancy. I'm 8+2. Not cottage cheese though. Just pale or dark yellow cervical mucus when I wipe in the loo. Midwife advice seems to be no concerns if no other symptoms. If you don't feel itchy, burning sensation or have bad smell or fever then it's ok. Do ask your own midwife though on Friday. Enjoy your holiday until then! :-)

Thanks for the reassurance! I've texted my community midwife to ask for a call when she gets a moment, then realised it's Saturday - definitely in holiday mode! I won't worry about it too much and will see how things are in Monday.
