Answers:
It is probably not discharge. It is probably urine. Sometimes after a woman has a baby she will have stress incontinence. It is very very common and nothing to be ashamed of. My daughter has recurrent UTI's.(urinary tract infections) Her urine smells so strong of ammonia sometimes it will take your breath away. She has a condition that causes this. Be very aware of any symptoms you may overlook. Does it hurt when you urinate? Do you sometimes feel the urge to go yet when you try only a little bit of urine comes out? Abdominal pain? Pain around your urethra? Burn when urinating? Overly strong smelling urine or brighter in color or darker in color. These could be symptoms of a UTI. Also notice if you pee a little when you cough or sneeze and that could be a sign of the stress incontinence. Go to the doctor and get checked out. In the meantime drink water and lots of it and water with fresh lemon or cranberry juice. These will lubricate the urinary tract and help rid it of infection. Better to go to the doctor, though. Good luck.

There are too many possible causes without knowing any details of your medical history. Go see a doctor who can refer you to specialist.

After you have a baby your hormones change, maybe that could account for some of that. But, I 'd call the doctor and have them do a swab, sounds like you have a fungal infection, that's easily treated.

I had that problem and I believe it was around the time after I had my baby and recently it happened again. My doctor said it was normal and she ran test and they all came back normal. She said it was Bacterial Vaginois. Its when ur body has over the normal amount of bacteria and its kinda like when u have a yeast infection. She gave me Flagy to take for 7 days. No sex until u finish the meds though medicine. BV is not transmittable and women that are sexually active and non-sexually active usually gets it also. So go to ur gyne and check it out..
