8mnths pregnant & yeast infection?

[La_bby20]

What is ok to take for a yeast infection? I don't go to the Dr. Til Tuesday. I heard the one time fluconazole pill cause birth defects. Don't know how true it is just wanna be safe. Or should I try monistat 7. Im scared to take any kind of pills while pregnant I don't even take Tylenol I use home remedies. Im a ftm & curious.

I suffered many yeast infections and tried everything then someone suggested to me grape seed extract (aka travellers friend) which gets rid of it within a day and is natural. Its pretty gross, you need to have like 3 drops in a glass of water and its horribly bitter but really worth it!

Hey! I started getting them one right after another and I started using summers eve sensitive skin and it works great! Haven't had one in months thanks to this! Hope that helps

Oh my gosh my heart goes out to you!
Yeast is NO FUN!! :(
Both monistat and diflflucan are okay.
Some obs prefer sometimes to use monistat over the one time diflflucan as a preference.
If you and your doctor prefer monistat it works great.
I have an allergy to monistat myself and get yeast in pregnancy quite often.
With my 1st 2 girls i got it maybe twice for some reason despite cutting back sugars and everything i had gotten yeast sooooo bad with my 2 boys more then likely because of hormonal changes.

I take difflucan as needed and so far with the pregnancy i have now i get them every month and spreads to underneath my breast and skin and stuff. So my ob gives me like 5 diflucan and to take them 1 a week as soon aa symptoms are recognized along with nystatin powder.
Depending symptoms and severity im sure your ob will choose whats safest and best for u. :)

I have 4 very healthy beautiful children no medical problems what so ever. :))

Dont rub soap on the yeast area but keep clean and dry along with the med choosen and drink lots of water! :)

Best wishes
Hang in there!

Agree with both of the ladies my doc told the same monistat 7

Monistat 3 or 7 day. 7 day is better tho.

Monostat is safe to take. I thought I was getting a yeast infection and that's what my doctor told email to take.
