Im currently 20 weeks pregnant and because of this more prone to yeast infections. Because i was feeling some itchiness and had the typical discharge that accompanied a yeast (mildly) i decided to check things out down there with a mirror which i dont normally do and i spotted these bumps. I am absolutely terrified trying to figure out what they are. i dont feel any sort of pain, stinging, or burning. Could this be genital warts or a herpes outbreak? Ive never been diagnosed with either in the past but i dont think pregnancy blood work checks for STDs? image

    ive seen some pictures of vp and have my fingered crossed thats what this is but a lot of those pictures the bumps seem smaller. it could be the way im stretching the skin or the close photo angle. Im so worried is something serious.
