General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your problem.
* Increase in vaginal discharge is normal body reaction to pregnancy & raised hormone levels in body, So dampness in vaginal area ( without itching,buring in urine) is normal.
It needs only cleanliness & hygyene to avoid infection.
* Soreness in inner aspect of thighs iin pregnancy is because of increase in size of thighs because of physical changes in maternal body (fat deposition ) in pregnancy.
Thanks.
- It leads to increased sweating & friction between two thighs & leads to rash.
IT can be managed by - wearing cotton clothes, using talc powder to avoid sweating & few pregnancy exercises like walking/ yogas To avoid extra fat deposition.
I find this answer helpful
