I got yeat infections with my pregnancies.  With my 1st son they told me to use the cream that you externally use til the 2nd trimester.  then if it is still bad use the internal.  For my second son, they let me use monistste in my first trimester.  If you do not feel right using it, and you can bare the itching, try the cream from the monistste, that you externally use to supress the itching.
