More vaginal discharge
-
Especially in the last phase of your pregnancy you may get more vaginal discharge. As long as it doesn't get a strange color, smells bad or causes irritation, nothing is wrong. Preferably do not use pantyliners, but cotton underpants that you change regularly. If the discharge becomes discolored, smelly, or irritated, you could have a yeast infection. Then consult your doctor.
Maternity Incontinence
-
A common pregnancy ailment is involuntary loss of urine. This is caused by the sphincter muscle being weakened by the pregnancy hormones. Later in pregnancy it can also be because the bladder is being pushed away by the growing uterus. After childbirth, many women are still struggling with involuntary loss of urine due to a weakened pelvic floor. In most cases, this recovers quite quickly. Often complaints can also be resolved by muscle strengthening exercises for the pelvic floor.

Hair growth
-
Hormones are responsible for yet another unpleasant side effect of pregnancy: hair growth in unwanted places. Hair growth can develop on the breasts, abdomen and sometimes also on the face. Waxing or tweezing are the safest methods of hair removal during pregnancy.
Fragrance

Some women start to smell better during pregnancy. As a result, they develop an aversion to certain smells. There are also women who start to smell their vaginal discharge themselves. This can be quite uncomfortable as they worry that others will smell it too. However, this is usually not the case. The smell of the discharge has not become stronger, but their sense of smell has increased. Do you still think something is wrong? Then go to the doctor or midwife to rule out a fungal infection.
