Is this bacterial vaginosis or something else ?

[TrudiRussel89]

Hi mums so basically for a while now I’ve noticed I’ve been smelling recently down below 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s made me so self conscious and not want to have sex , I feel like my knickers get wet quickly like my discharge is watery and smells fishy ish ? Soon as I have a shower and get into clean clothes it’s not long before my pants smell again it’s a joke I’m 25 weeks pregnant and have explained this to my midwife , I’ve had no itchyness or burning or any sort of discomfort it’s just the smell and it makes my washing basket sky high! Never had this before so I know somethings up , they did a urine test and said there was some bacteria but then did a swab sent it to lab and came back normal how can that be ? I’ve been using a Femine wash with no soap or perfume wearing cotton underwear No change what can I do now ?

Have you tried an over the counter home test? What did your MW say?

Talk more to your midwife. The pregnancy hormones can do all sorts of things to your body - perhaps it is just the smell of your discharge has changed and this combined with pregnancy super sensitive smell power ( I had this, everything smelt so strong and disgusting) is making you think there is a problem when there isn't. You said there is no pain or itching.
Get mw to test again, but there may not be anything wrong.
And stop using feminine wash - most are actually harmful to vaginal ecosystem. Just warm water is best. Look up Dr Jen Gunter for the science of it.
