    Thrush??

    I was just wondering what the signs and symptoms of thrush are?
    Ive never had it, that i know of, but i was just wondering for future reference?
    I also worry i might have it atm..but im not too sure..
    When they say you get 'itchy' where do they mean?? Im itchy, but in the way that one would be if they havent shaved for a few days, and i havent shaved in a few days.
    And the discharge..they say its like cottage cheese..but does it have a smell or colour?? And is it always there? I have normal 'creamy' discharge, although i have a lot more of it BUT im not sure if theres more coz im in the third trimester, or coz i may have thrush. It doesnt have a smell to it (or shall i say a 'different' smell), and there is no colour to it, apart from a slight yellow tinge on my panty liner.

    I know if im really worried to go to the doctor, im not, i was just asking coz im curious, and its crossed my mind a few times that i might have it. I havent had abnormal discomforts or anything.

    Thrush is very itchy on the lips and inner of the vagina - and is white discharge with redness on the skin - it has an almost sweet smell. it sounds like you have normal 3rd tri discharge and probably not thrush, but if you real concerned see your health care professional.
    good luck
