Reoccurring yeast infection.

Have any of you ladies had a reoccurring yeast infection during your pregnancy? I'm 25 weeks and this would be my third yeast infection. :( I keep doing all I can to prevent it but it just keeps coming back.

Early on in the pregnancy they give you the cream but after that it's safe to take the pill to cure it, if your nervous about taking it tell them you want the cream to treat it.

Thank you ladies. My ob has prescribed medicine and it keeps coming back. :( I know it's very common specially during pregnancy but it's just very uncomfortable. Lately he prescribed fluconazole to treat it. I have been stressing whether to take it or not because I've read it can cause birth defects but I really doubt he would prescribe it if it wasn't safe.

I've had it through my whole pregnancy thank god I'll be getting induced on Sunday. It's very common during pregnancy so don't worry about it

That happened to me also in my first pregnancy, I couldn't even use soap without getting one!!! It hasn't been like that this pregnancy thank god.. But it does happen.. Try switching plain soaps, nothing with any type of perfumes or anything.. That might help, sorry :/
