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

Sunflower's Right...
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!!

Hot Weather
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 !!!!
