Is this thrush? Should I be worried TMI pics

[FirsttimerMA]

I've been getting increasingly sticky discharge over the past week (currently 12+5) and have had on off spotting within my discharge, from pink to peach to fleck of red.

I'm incredibly worried about MMC. My dating scan is Friday.

Has anyone had this before and been ok?

It doesn’t particularly look like the typical discharge associated with thrush. Do you have any other thrush symptoms such as itching? Changes in discharge are normal in pregnancy, as spotting can be. Try not to worry, I wouldn’t think that discharge is indicative of a MMC.

No itching but my midwife wanted me to get a swab just in case. When the doctor took the swab she said it could possibly be thrush.
I've been getting discharge with pinky hues for 3ish weeks now so I'm very anxious.

Did you have anything like this?

I’ve had similar looking discharge and also episodes of spotting with both of my pregnancies. I also had a swab at one point during this pregnancy due to discharge but it wasn’t thrush, just normal pregnancy discharge! DC1 is now a happy 18 month old, I’m still pregnant with DC2 but they are happily kicking away!

@OopsieeDaisy my discharge seems to be discoloured a lot. So it's quite disconcerting. I just keep waiting no for it to clear up and it won't.

Congrats on your pregnancies too!

Thank you 😊 congratulations to you too!

I think the general guidance is not to worry unless you have heavy red bleeding accompanied by cramps. Hope everything goes well for you on Friday, there’s a good chance that everything will be fine!

Does it smell OP? XX

@OopsieeDaisy

Thank you. I'm trying to stay calm. Hoping all goes well. Just wish I didn't read what I did about MMCs as I can't get them out of my head now.

@Loubelle70 no obvious smell. Just smells like strong discharge right now.

My daughter had heavy discharge through last pregnancy (ive just showed her this)...she said its what she had, it was a bit of infection and cleared with antibiotics xx

@Loubelle70 thank you!

Did she also have the pinky hue and red flecks in hers?

Doctors did take a swab today so hoping it doesn't take too long to come back.

She said yes .it was mixed ...slightly like spotting..but browny flecks...more the colour you have there. Baby was fine it was just a little infection.. you'll be fine OP XXX

@Loubelle70 Thank you!
