This is probably pyoderma, which is a skin infection, it can sometimes be more common in pregnant dogs. if it seems to be getting worse over time you should take her to the vet in order to get an antibiotic course which will probably resolve the issue.

    A slight mainly clear discharge from the vagina can be normal but yellow/creamy discharge is usually a sign of a uterine infection which is a very serious condition in female dogs. i strongly recommend taking her to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated.
