Yeast Infection??

I'm about 7 weeks pregnant and have always gotten yeast infections regularly and there usually BAD, my doc says that I just produce more normal bacteria than most women,  but I'm very embarrassed by it. My fiance makes jokes about it and it doesn't seem to bother him at all. I normally take AZO everyday, and it works great, I usually get them about once a month but since starting to take AZO I hardly ever get them, but the doc said that I can't while pregnant, is there anything else that I can take everyday to prevent getting them?? I know that women get them all the time but I really hate it and I get so uncomfortable while I have them I just want to not stress over them during my whole pregnancy. Maybe I make a bigger deal than I should seeing as how my fiance could care less but I could really use some advice.

I was just so happy when he laid down on the couch and put his head on my belly, it was just the sweetest thing ever!!! I have a cat and and dog and I'm about to get a chihuahua puppy!!! I'm really excited, I gave my last chihuahua to my grand mother, they felll in love with each other and my grand mother lives all alone so she needed the company more than I did at the time, I get to go see her all the time and she still knows that I'm her mommy but they get to spend all day together and I was working all the time when I had her so this is better for both of them!! :)

You can eat yogurt.  Acidophilus is the culture that is in yogurt and that's what is used to prevent yeast infections.  That's what is in AZO.  I'm not sure why AZO is not ok to use while pregnant but they do sell Acidophilus pills or just eating at least one yogurt a day should do the trick.  Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy.

I agree with you 100%, I have been through a lot and I figure that everything happens for a reason, so there is no reason to spend your life being sad about the bad things... I try to smile as much as possible!!! You have a good out look, It takes most people most of their life to figure out what you have in 17 years... GO YOU!! LOL I  have no siblings but yours sound awesome I'm sure you are a great big sister!! And I think we're all a little crazy!! I think that makes us more interesting :) My fiance has super sperm too, I don't know about the capes but it's an interesting picture in my head!! I'm trying to enjoy being pregnant and not freak about every little thing... it's hard though, especially seeing as this is my first! I've never been this excited about anything before in my life, I CAN'T WAIT, every little thing is exciting to me!! Again good luck and I'm sending happy,Pixie Dust covered thoughts your way!!

Nothing, I just sounded like I made my hair like hers LOL....
My next Pregnancy after my termination I miscarried and got preg in the same week as my MC woohooo go me, and my boyf's super sprem (it even wears little capes) I am actually a nutcase, I used to purposly fall down the stairs cause it was fun :) LOL...


But I gotta look at those losses and hold my head up high and say what my dad used to say when my little money spider used to run away after I left him on some kitchen roll on the window ledge and he was gone... I used to get so sad.
He used to say
Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened'
LOL
That spider meant everything to me for the 10 seconds I knew him.

Ouch Kindey stones 10 times!! My sister said do you get kidney stones by eating stones... shee is 10? LOL... My 3yr old brother thinks babies are made with Cake Mix LOL... he went to me, whilst eating a cake, I am sorry Cassie, I am eating your baby, Bye cakeyy. LOL.
He is 3 I aint gonna tell him where babies come from, but he came up with them coming out your ear himself!!!

Pixie dust IS the best kind of dust.

You are hilarious!!! And what would be the matter with being a Tinkerbell freak!!! Doctors do suck, I have had 10 kidney stones and every time I go to the hospital with another one I know exactly what it is but they refuse to listen to me and run all kinds of crazy tests that aren't needed!! It makes me want to scream, I'm glad that you got PG again and very sorry for the loss of the first baby!!   GOOD LUCK!! And I will definitely take the Faith, Hope, Trust And Pixie Dust!!! ( I could use it!!) :)

Although I am 17 this was a planned pregnancy because I was preg before I found out at 22 weeks...LOL... but I was 5 stone and couldnt have the baby so I had to terminate my little girlyy, (If this one is a girl she will be called Peyton in memory) because I wanted her, Just couldnt have her...
And I live in England so I have NO clue about the Midwife thing I just know my Docs are so freaking crap!! LOL
I fainted once before the day before I found out I was preg and that WAS low blood sugar, but going Deaf I swear isnt part of low blood sugar and I had my ears cleaned out, so they aint blocked LOL....

My docs are so rubbish it annoys me.... at first they didnt listen to me about hosps. I was in hosp a few weeks ago reaction of headache tabs (The codeine) my doc said they are fine, I went back a few weeks later and they gave me a lower dose of the tablets that put me into hospital... SMART! LOL...
So I aint taken them LOL.
I will kick up a fuss dont worry LOL...
I shall let you know.

Good Luck in your pregnancy.
Faith, Hope, Trust and Pixie Dust, is what you need...
I am obsessed with Tinkerbell LOL... I even have the same hair but ginger. LOL :)

You are SOO funny LOL, Not the fainting part that is scary, but the shower thing!!  I'm sure you shower!! I use vagisil in the shower and I use baby wipes cause like I said above I get very embarrassed over any kind of "thing" down there. Some times I'm just overly conscious about it!! I would really demand that they give you another blood test. This is totally new for me, having to deal with doctors all the time, I can't believe that they are refusing to give you a blood test. Is it normal for doctors to be this lax about things especially during a pregnancy??  That scares me... I hope nothing bad happens during my pregnancy!? And I really hope that everything works out great for you and the baby!! I'm sure everything is going to be fine!! Let me know what you find out when you find out something, I also hope you get your midwife soon!! On that note what exactly is the difference between having a midwife and just having a regular OB GYN??? I guess cause I'm not that far along I haven't even thought about that stuff yet.  I guess there is a lot that I haven't thought about, I really need to go see a doctor, I need help figuring all this stuff out. My problem is that my fiance and I are both out of work, we're actually about to move to another state just to get work, I don't have any insurance so I'm going to have to get help from the state, I hate it but I don't have a choice right now. The craziest part of the whole thing is how this all happened, I went to get back on birth control, I had to get a doctors Apt through the state for that and it took forever, and I went to fill my prescription, I was waiting for the Sunday after my last period and it never came!! I went and bought a home pregnancy test just to check and it was positive!! I wasn't planning on this AT ALL but now I feel blessed! But I guess I need to figure out what I'm going to do, there is so much I haven't even thought about, now I'm kinda scared. Sorry to blabber like that but I'm so unprepared and haven't really thought about it until now. Thanks for all your advise and I will be sending out super happy thoughts for you and the baby!!! I don't see how they can refuse you, I would make a huge fuss, throw a temper tantrum if you have to !!! PLEASE let me know what happens!!

Yeah I told them today, and she went Oh.
I said it starts off my legs go numb and then I will go dizzy and then go deaf and fall to the floor!


If i can get to a bench in time I wont fall but the rest happens and then I will shake for about 30 mins after even if I get sugar in me.
I am tomorrow, I will say something is not right at all, and I want tests.

Wow that's crazy.... Do they know that you are fainting a lot? You need to demand the test tell them that you are very worried about the health of yourself and the baby and they are responsible for both of your health at the moment tell them to stop neglecting your fears cause that's not right...

I dont have anyy.. I only wear mascara and eye liner... I might wear a little mascara no eye liner... LOL...
But then I will have to have a blood test.. I hate them But i need it, I cant keep fainting. I know it isnt low blood sugar because I take in a fair amount of sugar I eat a small bag of Haribo every hour and a half and drink 2 cans of coke a day an he rest... So i do eat sugar so it cant be that...

And they dont listen. I am also going to go mad if I dont get a midwife by next week I am 16 weeks sunday and havent had a midwife since I was 8 weeks.

Hmmm They said another one will ring me within 3 weeks and my first apt. Been 8 weeks. Still waiting
