Yeast infections? :(

So, I am 35 weeks and 2 day pregnant. My vaginal discharge has increased heavily and is turning yellow? or came out yellow? Not sure. But its more than usual. & the bad thing is that sometimes it itch, and sometimes it dont (itching only occurs at night). Have braxton hicks contractions here and there, pressure in my pelvic and sometimes some pains down there too. I am very lost, and last week my dr. did a culture test... But havent heard anything about it from him. Some one please help!

Ive never had a yeast infection, but you could try giving your doctor a call to see if they can give your results from the culture.

Generally we can do a few things from home.    Like no sugar (avoid things like fruit, juice, even high carby foods maybe), and eat/use probiotics, garlic & yogurt.    (Use meaning as a local, direct remedy)

A diet adjustment might be enough.

GL!

I'm betting if you have not heard back about the test results, they are negative, but never hurts to call.

Staying away from the sugar can definetly help with yeast infections though.

The fact that its yellow leads me to think it may not be a yeast infection. Yeast infections have white discharge. It may be bacterial infection. Does it have an oder?
