Vaginal discharge and pregnancy

I'm six months pregnant, and for several weeks now, I've had heavy vaginal discharge (although some days are heavier than others). It doesn't hurt to wee, but it's still not very nice - is this normal?

Without an internal examination, it's very difficult to answer your questions. Vaginal mucus can be more sensitive in pregnant women and it is quite common to pick up a yeast infection - symptoms include heavy, odourless vaginal discharge, with no pain on urination and sometimes itching. If you recognise these symptoms, go to your doctor, who will be able to help.
