I’m not a dr, but I have this problem a lot (I’m 3 mths pregnant). the dr told me that this is a vaginal infection. She said that you can take yogurt (plain) and put on a pad. This yogurt helps kills bad bacteria & replace it with good bacteria. She said to do this on & off for 3 days, then if you have a bad odor, then you know it’s something like a bacterial infection or something worse than a common vaginal infection. Hope this helps. By the way, she said eating yogurt (not the same yogurt that you put down there) can help cure infections as well.

Rule of thumb a BAD smell is not generally normal. I would have it checked. I bet its a yeast, they’re common in pregnancy and a snap to cure. Congratulations on the baby.

I believe it is an infection also. Go to the OB-GYN ASAP.>>>

Odor is typically a sign of infection. And, during pregnancy, the immune system is suppressed, which can increase your chances of infections and illness. Also, women naturally have yeast in their vaginal canal; simple things like bathing (if you get water internally), illness, even pregnancy can cause the yeast balance to become off, which results in a yeast infection.

Before using any OTC medication, see your OB. S/he will be able to determine what sort of situation is going on and what the best course of treatment will be given the pregnancy and your medical history.

No this isn’t normal. Go see your OB/GYN asap. Have you or your partner had sex outside your relationship? (Don’t be to certain that your partner hasn’t) To me it sounds like an STD, if you shower repeatedly and it doesn’t go away then I believe its an STD. Go get check and get some meds, it isn’t going to hurt just to ask your doctor. Also it would be good to get tested for all STDs. You want to make sure your 100% healthy before having your baby, STD’s can really mess you baby up. I hope I’m wrong but I wanted to give you my honest opinion. But it also could be a regular infection, but it also requires taking meds. Go to your doctor. Good luck & congrats on your little one.

No it’s not typical. Sounds like an infection to me. Possibly BV if it’s a really bad odor. Time to go see the doctor. When pregnant, do not self diagnose.
