What Causes Milky/yellow Discharge From Vagina During Pregnancy?

I know I'm supposed to discharge but mine has turned into thick milky/yellow mucus like discharge and it's been gradually pushing out more, I keep having like a sharp pain, or a pinching pain on my vagina whenever I stand up. I've had severe back and pelvic pain here recently. This is my first baby, & I'm 33 weeks & 6 days pregnant.. Is this normal and should I worry?

HI,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
The vaginal discharge is increased in pregnancy, it's a clear discharge without white/ yellow/ green colour to discharge or symptoms of itching, burning in urine, pain in back, cervix.
Your symptoms suggest infection. you need to consult a gynecologist for internal examination & vaginal swab test followed by specific medicines prescribed by doctor.
- keep strict vaginal hygiene,
- take medication regularly,
- avoid sex till cured . mostly both sex partners need treatment simultaneously.
Thanks.
