Green Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy: What to Know at 15 Weeks

Question
I am 23 years old, and pregnant with my first child.  I am 15 weeks along and have a yeast infection.  It seemed to be normal, white/yellowish color, clumpy discharge, no odor, itchy,etc... and I have had it for about a week.  My Dr. prescribed Terconazole Vaginal Cream 0.8%.  Today is my second out of three days on it and the discharge that has been coming out with the cream today and yesterday is clumpy and a light lime green color.  Still no odor.  Is this normal?

Answer
If you do, in fact, have a yeast infection, the Terconazole cream will get rid of it. I prever the seven day regimen rather than the three day regimen because it seems to eradicate the infection better. However, see what happens. Sometimes, if there is a bacterial overgrowth in the vagina, you can get some green tinge to the discharge. If you do not get relief within a week, get a culture of your vagina to see if you have a bacterial vaginosis. It can be treated during pregnancy with Cleocin cream or Flagyl cream.
