So I'm 31 weeks pregnant and I'm experiencing a veginal itchy burning sensation...stopped having sexual intercoure cause it made it worse I do have a white gooey non smell discharge kinda like mucus.. It doesn't hurt to urintae but when urine touches my area it burns I know it is not STDs but have no clue what type of infection I have can it be a yeast infection and should I purchase over the counter creams and save me a trip to the drs...worst part my husband started with itchiness today please help

I have a doula and she gave me a recipe and it cured it! Get a clove of garlic every night (a new one every night) stick a fork in it so it can open up a few holes so it can be strong and I know it sounds so weird but put it in your vagina right when youre about to sleep and take it out when you wake up. Google it!it is a homeophatic remedy and it works because garlic kills yeast. You will feel better within hours! For the itching apply greek yogurt outside your vagina and that will cure the itching and also help with getting rid of the yeast since yogurt has probiotics. You can google all of this and see that it is true! I had a yeast infection at week 23 and was prescribed monistat by my doctor for it and it gave me a horrible allergy, so then my doula recommended what I mentioned above and the next doctor appointment they did a test to see if I had it and it came back negative! Good luck!

Go to the doctor first to make sure it's not a bladder infection and then they'll check for yeast too! If it's a yeast infection, Monistat 7 (over the counter) is one of the only safe things during pregnancy to take and I'm sure you're doctor will tell you that as well(: goodluck

Nothing over the counter. I would talk too your doctor. Ita healthier for you too get a diagnosis before actual treatment. They usually give you a cream. If so have hubby use a little too.
