Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this discharge. From the information you have provided, there are reasons to think you have an infection from the volume, color and scent of this discharge. Because you have been taking several antibiotics, I will suggest that you get a culture done. A culture would identify the exact germ and ask test different antibiotics to identify which would kill the germs. This would be of great help as treating this infection is of prime importance both for you and the unborn baby. It would not be a nice idea if the baby passes through a the vaginal that still harbors untreated germs.
In all, you have a vaginal infection. I will suggest you get a culture to better target an treat this infection for your good and that of your unborn child. Untreated vaginal infection could also lead to premature delivery. Please, talk this out with your doctor for consideration and execution.
