Hi, I have gone through your question. Pus cells in the urine is indicative of urinary tract infection. Yellowish vaginal discharge which is itchy can be due to vaginal infection.
I would suggest you to get your urine culture and sensitivity test and vaginal swab examination done, so that appropriate antibiotics can be started.
Urinary tract and vaginal infection can affect the growth of the baby and can cause preterm labour ( Labour before 37 weeks of gestation), therefore it needs to effectively treated at the earliest.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
