cladi: bacteria infection usually not itchy de. only yeast infection will itch.
What are the symptoms?
If you develop symptoms from a yeast infection, they're likely to plague you (and may get worse) until you treat the infection, though sometimes they come and go on their own. Symptoms may include:
• Itchiness, irritation, soreness, burning, and redness in your vagina and labia (and sometimes swelling)
• An odorless vaginal discharge that's often white, creamy, or cottage-cheesy
• Discomfort or pain during sex
• Burning when you urinate (when the urine hits your already irritated genitals)
What should I do if I think I have a yeast infection?
If you think you have a yeast infection, see your practitioner. She'll take a sample of your vaginal discharge and check it to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other things that may be causing your symptoms.

Is it my imagination or do I have a lot more vaginal discharge now?
It's not your imagination. It's quite common to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy.
What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea — the odorless or mild-smelling milky discharge that you occasionally noticed in your underwear before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it now, partly because of increased estrogen production and greater blood flow to the vaginal area. This discharge is made up of secretions from the cervix and vagina, old cells from the walls of the vagina, and normal bacterial flora from the vagina.
You'll probably notice more vaginal discharge as you approach labor, although it's likely to look somewhat different from the flow you've become accustomed to. In very early pregnancy, cervical secretions filled your cervical canal and created a protective barrier — the so-called mucus plug.
As your cervix begins to efface (thin out) and dilate, it may expel this mucus, and you'll notice discharge that looks like egg white or mucus from a runny nose on a cold day. You may even expel the plug in one gelatinous glob. This discharge might be tinged with a bit of blood.
When should I call my caregiver?
If there's a lot of thin, clear discharge, it can be hard for you tell if it's just mucus or if you're leaking amniotic fluid. If you have any doubt, contact your midwife or doctor.
Call your practitioner right away if you're not yet at 37 weeks and you notice an increase in discharge or a change in the type of discharge (if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody — even if it's just tinged with pink or brownish old blood). This can be a sign of preterm labor.
You should also call your caregiver if you suspect that you have an infection. If you have an odorless, whitish discharge that's causing you discomfort such as itching or burning — or your vulva looks inflamed — you might have a yeast infection.
If your discharge is foul-smelling or frothy or yellow, green, or gray, you might have a different kind of vaginal infection or a sexually transmitted infection, even if you don't have symptoms of irritation, itching, or burning.
In either case, don't try to treat yourself with over-the-counter medications. It's important to first see your practitioner for a diagnosis to make sure you get appropriate treatment.
Is there anything I can do about all this discharge?
There's nothing you can do to stop the flow, but you can use panty liners to absorb it if you need to. (Don't use tampons during pregnancy.)
To keep your genital area healthy, keep it clean, always wipe from front to back, and wear cotton underwear. Avoid tight pants, nylons, bubble bath, scented pads or toilet paper, feminine hygiene sprays, and scented or deodorant soaps.
And don't douche — douching can upset the normal balance of vaginal flora and increase your risk of a vaginal infection. What's more, doctors and midwives discourage douching during pregnancy because in rare cases it can introduce air into your circulatory system through the vagina, which can cause serious complications.

Ony of my fren gave me a pre natal heart listerner and yest night was so eager to hear my little one's heartbeat. But whenever I place the thing on my tummy, the fella seem to move away like how he does when I bump into something. I did hear a lot of things plus the heartbeat but the bb was like moving wildly like something wrong and all that quick movements gave me so much of pain. So, I told hubby maybe he don't like it and stopped using loh. I had to rub my tummy after that and hubby had to talk to him for a while b4 he calmed down! Found it so interesting that he in the tummy already can show emotions!

abc: ya.. ur gal very sweet... pretty...
cladi: u need to check wif ur gynae. different ppl have different opinions.. my gynae inserted the med though mine was white discharge. he told me it was yeast infection.. it happened early in 5th mth. 1st mth preg, i was wif another gynae, he also inserted med... so i think different ppl different perception.

After seeing AdelineL and ABC's elder gal, I sort of get a bit nervous. Wonder if I can cope till my little bb grows. 
For preggy discomforts, all I can say is that I feel uncomfy all over. Argh! I dun think I have crampy feeling. Or mabbe I am too numb le. But I have clear to whitish discharge. Sometimes the clear discharge is like "leaking urine".
Now I am seeing my obs every fortnight. So will ask him on my nxt appt.

diana,
the only way to decrease breathlessness is if your baby is engaged.

i everyday oso got discharge but not itchy and not painful. everyday i use panty liners.
