33 weeks & yeast infection

[2018835389621798524_988_53]

hello; wondering if some of you ladies can help me with a concern I have; I had a dr. appt on Tuesday because I been feeling uncomfortable and Wednesday they called to tell me that I had a yeast infection that's common to happen when your pregnant; I was told by my dr to get monistat; I purchased the 3 day treatment and it came with the cream to place on the skin where it's itchy; but my huge concern was will this treatment affect my unborn baby ? Im 33 weeks today and dr said it won't but I'm still so worried; has anyone else try to use this before while pregnant? Im so nervous =(

I'm 31 weeks and just got over a yeast infection, my doctor prescribes me monistat 7 which you put internally and externally, he said monistat is the safest one to use when pregnant

Thank you so much for responding; I started it today the three day treatment; it was so nerve racking; this is my first little one so I'm nervous about everything I do;  the dr said to insrert tube only half way.! I hope this goes away in three days I want my baby girl to safe ☺️ thank you again

No it should not hurt the baby... especially if its only the external cream. I had 2 yeasts infections while pregnant (I'm 32 weeks at the moment) and I had to use an internal cream both times. Don't worry baby should be fine :) its also only 3 days... plus that it is something terribly uncomfortable to deal with and can last a while if untreated so I believe having the infection for a long period of time would do more harm to the baby than using the medication.
