Try drinking more water...It'll help flush
your system out. Be sure to take all
your vitamins too. If that doesn't help,
maybe your doctor can. :)

You could have a yeast infection.
Vaginal discharge is normal during
pregnancy, however I was told that if it
changes color or starts to thicken or
smell then it may be a yeast infection.
You could call your dr for an appt so they
could look into it

Try to drink more water (it also helps
majorly with the production of milk.) I
have discharge as well but with no odor.
The discharge is maily due to the volume
increase in all of the fluids in your
body. What every you do, avoid bubble
baths. These could also lead to yeast
infections. If the odor strenghtens call
your doctors office, they should be very
helpful!!

It's probably the heat- you are in sydney
right?
It'll be a combination of sweat and
discharge- i'm in melbourne, and one the
really hot days before I had my baby I
experienced the same thing.
All you can really do is try to stay cool,
and shower morning and night. Make sure
you are wearing only natural fibres-
especially your underwear-go cotton all
the way.
Talc or baby powder might help, shake a
little on your upper thighs, groin and
pubic area and a little in your underwear
as well as using a panty liner.
Go "commando" as much as you can around
the house, let the air circulate!!!!!!
That's all I can think of- besides waiting
out the summer !!!!
