Hallow Dear,
During pregnancy there is little increased discharge due to raised hormones; however it is clear discharge. White flaky discharge you are describing seems to the Candida (yeast) infestation. This is fungal infestation. It can be treated by antifungal vaginal pessaries like Candid vaginal. Please report to the Gynaecologist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment.
You should follow following instructions to avoid re-infection:
1. Since this can be transferred sexually, both the partners should take the treatment simultaneously and follow the instructions given below.
2. Observe sexual abstinence till both of you are declared completely cured.
3. Shave private parts clean.
4. Boil underwear daily.
5. Use panty liners (for you).
6. Clip the nails short.
With this you should be cured of the infestation.
