What Causes A Foul Smelling Thick White Discharge During Late Pregnancy?

I'm 31weeks pg. I've talked to my ob about this thick white discharge that is very nasty. He says it's white cells. I want to know should it itch me? I am constantly smelling it to see if it smells. I can't tell if i smell the sweat mixted with it or what. What should i do?
