Hi,
It seems that you are having some acute infection in your vaginal canal.
As you are pregnant any infection in the body, should be treated as early as possible.
Consult your Obst. and get examined physically.
After examination she will go for treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.

Hi Dear,
the symptoms described by you clearly states that you are suffering from vaginal infection which presents itself in the form of discharge per vaginum may or may not be associated with foul smell and itching.Swelling occurs eithewr due to infection itself or due to constant itching.
There are a lot of organisms responsible for these infections andthe treatment usually requires a combination of drugs both oral as well as vaginal.
Vaginal infection in pregnancy can accend up to uterus and can lead to preterm labour and delivery.
So, consult your doctor immediately and get it cured
Good luck
