Hi,
Thanks for the query.
During pregnancy general immunity decreases to some extent and that can lead to increased possibility of infections.
As you are getting the repeated attacks of infection, better to go for vaginal swab culture and sensitivity once.
This helps in finding out the causative organism of infection and also It's sensitivity to drugs.
According to the reports, you can take medicines.
Some amount of increased vaginal discharge is common in pregnancy.
If the discharge is proves to be pathological only, you need to take treatment.
Take care.
