Re: increased discharge?
do you think it is yeast? it does not really look like it, as far as i remember yeast is more flaky.

No, yeast is more of a clumpy discharge (im sorry that was gross).
I found this for you . It was posted a while ago
it's called leukorrhea, and more info can be found out about it here:
Here is the text taken from babycenter.com:
Is it my imagination or do I have a lot more vaginal discharge now?
It's not your imagination. It's quite common to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy.
What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea — the odorless or mild-smelling milky discharge that you occasionally noticed in your underwear before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it now, partly because of increased estrogen production and greater blood flow to the vaginal area. This discharge is made up of secretions from the cervix and vagina, old cells from the walls of the vagina, and normal bacterial flora from the vagina.
You'll probably notice more vaginal discharge as you approach labor, although it's likely to look somewhat different from the flow you've become accustomed to. In very early pregnancy, cervical secretions filled your cervical canal and created a protective barrier — the so-called mucus plug.
As your cervix begins to efface (thin out) and dilate, it may expel this mucus, and you'll notice discharge that looks like egg white or mucus from a runny nose on a cold day. You may even expel the plug in one gelatinous glob. This discharge might be tinged with a bit of blood.

Totally normal! The "Snail Trail" as Jenny McCarthy calls in it her book "Belly Laughs" (which I highly recommend, it's hysterical!)

Re: increased discharge?
I noticed in my third trimester I had increased whitish discharge. My OB did a culture and it wasn't a yeast infection, he said it was perfectly normal. Some days are worse then others, but I still have it at 36 weeks.
