UTI/yeast infection

I've been taking antibiotics from a uti. Now the uti pain has disappeared but I've been really itchy in my downstairs area. I've almost rubbed myself raw down there. I've never had a yeast infection before, but I've been told its possible to contract one while taking antibiotics, and it's even more common when your pregnant... I got a doctors appointment Wednesday so I'll be discussing it with him then but until then, does any of you ladies know some tricks to rid the itching or at least keep it down. It hurts me to go pee/wipe. A nice warm bath helps a lot but I can't just stay in the bath all day:/ Any advice would be helpful..
