yeast infection?

[shari13]

I dont mean to gross anyone out, but lately (since pg began) i have had a discharge which I have been calling a yeast infection. there is no itching or anything else. DH is so sensitive to it, that I havnet asked the doc when i go see him (since dh is with me). Is this normal to have?

all that i know is that during pg u sometimes have extra discharge and down there smells bad there r a lot of sites that can help type in embarressing pregnancy questions and check them out.

I havent had any "smells" just discharge. I will look tomorrow for the sites.

I have had the same discharge since my pg began. It was clear and sticky (similar to ovualting mucous at first) and has gradually progressed to whitish. My OB said that as long as it is not thick and cheesy (sorry TMI) and not smelly then it is not a yeast infection, but rather luekoreah which is natural pg discharge. He said to worry only if it becomes that way or if it is runny and clear (signaling possible amniotic leak.) So you probably don't have a yeast infection! And BTW, if that grosses out your DH, does he know where and how the baby has to come out? ;) LOL

My doctor told me you are more prone to yeast infections when you are pregnant.  There are yogurt pills you can buy in a health food store that have to be refridgerated that you take daily and are safe that will do the trick.  I take them all of the time - pregnant or not.

sorry, been a couple days since I have been on. Thank you all for the info! I like the yogart pill idea. I do think it may be a yeast infection since every now and then I get like one cottage cheese ball thing. no smell or color though....

Hi, i'm new here... I've been having Yeast infections since I had my baby boy who is going to be 9 months in a couple of days.  I have had 2 yeast infections since delivery... I never had one prior.. or during pregnancy.. So i wasn't sure what it was at first.  My second yeast infection i just used the cream insert in a tube like dispenser...(without the pill insert)... and on the second day treatment... during night time i felt very uncomfortable pains in my abdomen... so much so that it woke me up from sleep.  (I guess that was the fungus being attacked inside, cuz it definately felt like a war was going on inside with many little daggars).
It's been a month and a half since my last treatment... and it seems to me the yeast infection is coming back again... I am reddish between my thighs and vagina... and inside my vaginal lips... and down the middle crack on the outside of my vagina.  I don't understand.. i don't feel itchy??  HOwever, for the past week i've been having severe pain in my abdomen.. similar to the pain of the 2nd day treatment during my yeast infection...(daggar like, tightening of abdomen)... and also sharp pains on both my left and right side of my stomach... I'm going to the doctors tomorrow.. i just hope it's nothing too serious.. i'm terrified of doctors since i was a child:(
