What Could Chunk Like Vaginal Discharge In Pregnant Woman Be?

i am 37 weeks pregnant and i have just noticed a strange discharge. it is whitish, and chunky. there isnt really any liquid to it, its sort of dry, i dont really know what to compare it to and i dont know if it is normal or not. there was also a very very small amount of blood.. not like a streak but like a very small blot on the tissue.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion white discharge might be due to candidiasis.It is the common fungal infection seen in.pregnancy.The blood spot might be from cervix.Nothing to worry.You might need a course of antibiotics for the infection.It will subside.Usually vaginal infections cause preterm labour.But as you are term already you can be relaxed.
