What Causes Yellowish Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and for the last week or so I've been having yellow discharge when I go to the restroom (no itching burning or odor) However when I was about 33 weeks pregnant I did have a white discharge with a slight odor and found out I had an infection. I used antibiotics for recommended time (5 day) could this be a reoccurring infection or something different? since the discharge is different color and no odor like before.

Hi,
I understand your query& concern.
Yellow discharge through vagina at 36 weeks of pregnancy needs a prompt attention..for the time of labor is near, & any vaginal discharge may hamper the baby at the time of birth ( specially eyes )You should -
-be careful about genital hygiene,
- consult your treating doctor for need of vaginal swab test( to exclude /diagnose recurrence of infection) & get a specific course of antibiotic as per advise,
- Use of Betadine vaginal pessaries is advised even if there is no infection found.
Thanks.
