TMI Question

[Snow Cherries]

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have several bouts of vaginal irritation this pregnancy.  Most of them, I'm confident, were yeast infections as they respoded very well to yeast treatment.  A couple of others I'm not so sure about, including the one I'm currently experiencing.  The strange thing is the vaginal discharge - it's like lotion.  I've had several globs of it come out (either into the toilet or on the toilet paper) and it literally looks/feels like a teaspoon or so of lotion.  No egg white, no stickiness, no clumpiness (could this be any grosser?).  Yesterday  such a large amount came out into the toilet that I momentarily thought it might be my mucus plug, but the consistency doesn't match any description I've ever read of a mucus plug.  I used some Monistat last night to see if that would help (and it may have - I'm less uncomfortable today than yesterday), but usually when I do have a yeast infection, the Monistat kind of burns and it didn't burn last night.  What could this be?  I only have the massive amounts of discharge when I have irritation down there.

Hi

I think it definately could be yeasty.  Keep up the treatment.  Good luck!

Well an increase of discharge can be very normal at the end of pregnancy, and a lotion like consistency isn't abnormal in and of itself.  Do you have any other symptoms?  Itching, redness, smell?
