hi. It can be recurrence of thrush.Although you are trying to maintain pH of vagina,but pregnancy causes acidic Ph and more and more chances of all fungal infections to grow. It can also be a part of urinary tract infection,like urethritis.You should consult your gynecologist and by that time take some anti- allergic and apply a cream like Candid-B. You are at term pregnancy now, so this must be treated fast.
Thanks.
