It is normal to have vaginal discharge during the eighth month of pregnancy. This occurs because the levels of progesterone and estrogen increase in the body during pregnancy, leading to increased vaginal discharge. However, if the discharge has an odor or abnormal color, it may indicate vaginitis. In such cases, a routine vaginal discharge test should be performed to identify the specific pathogen causing the infection, based on which appropriate medication can be prescribed.
