Discharge - what's normal?

Hello, I'm 23w6d and for the last few days I've had quite heavy discharge, and it's a paleish yellow in colour. I'm not sure I'd say there's an abnormal smell - mostly just sweat to be honest, with it being hot and I've been busy, plus I am a bit overweight, it's mostly just been kind of musky so not sure it's the discharge or myself (sorry for tmi).

I'm not very itchy. Sometimes I can get a burning pain but it only lasts a few seconds then I might not get it again for ages. Pain during intimacy, but that's not too abnormal for me. I've always had heavy discharge and I've been told I have cervical ectropion so that increases my discharge. It's usually clear to very pale yellow, but this discharge seems like a bit brighter yellow, and it is quite a lot. I'm having to pee a lot more too, even if I go to the toilet not even 15 minutes later I feel like I need to go again, so wonder if it could be a UTI? I've never had one before so I'm not sure.

I'm going to call the GP in the morning see if I can get a swab sample sent off to see if it could be something or nothing, but wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences?
