Hi

Vaginal discharge during pregnancy is normal and can range from clear or thin or milky white discharge.

Pregnancy discharge- if it smells bad, if it is any other color other than clear or white, or if it causes pain, burning, or itching, there could be a possibility of vaginal infections.

Fungal or bacterial infections can occur in pregnancy since it is also an immuno-compromised state where infections occur easily.Vaginal smear can be done in case of persisting symptoms.

Drugs safe in pregnancy should only be used in case of infections. Hence I would suggest you to visit your doctor for antibiotics and avoid self medication.Topical drugs can e preferred whenever possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
