Thank you very much. Did you take the monistat ? I heard monistat was good but wasnt sure if it would effect the baby. I will try the vagisil wash too.

And oh yeah get some of that wash by vagisil, it helps get the vagina back to its normal PH balance and keep it there. I kept having infections this pregnancy until I started using it instead of regular soap and haven't had a problem since!

You can use monistat. If that doesn't work the doc can give you a prescription for another cream. But try the monistat and make sure you eat plenty of yogurt and that should help.
