Hello,
Welcome to this forum.
Probably you have some form of yeast infection at 29 weeks pregnancy.
Yeast is normally present in vagina and an increase in pregnancy period is not at all something serious.One thing I must share with you that,most women find vaginal discharge increases when they are pregnant – this is quite normal and happens for a few reasons.This increased discharge helps to prevent any infections travelling up from the vagina to the womb.
Thus, i suggest you not to be tensed.If only this discharge is foul smelling or with intense itching; you need to contact your GP.
Other wise be relaxed, if needed wear sanitary pads and stop douching your vagina with anything like soap or medicine.
Sincerely
