having a yest infection and being pregnet is very commen.  they accusualy test you for that when you are pregnet becasue lots of babies are born when moms have yest infections and can get the baby very ill while passing throught the birth canal. my mom way back when did get tested for it and i was born and flown to a larger hospital with strep in the blood from her. Have you missed your pierd, do you ich and have lots of dischage. a doctor will not be such a bad idea. he will test you for pregnacy and ask you about your simptoms of yest infections. its best to find out expeshialy if your pregnet too

The previous poster is confusing Group B strep infection and yeast infection.  Group B strep infection is generally only an issue for pregnant women and a very small number of their infants.  It has no real symptoms and is often detected by a simple swab test when you are about 35-36 weeks pregnant.  It would have nothing to do with you right now in any event.

The symptoms of a yeast infection are generally intense vaginal/vulval itching along with a "cottage-cheese" white discharge.  If you think you might have a yeast infection but aren't sure, you should see a doctor to get a definate diagnosis.  You could try something over the counter for yeast, but if it isn't yeast, that won't help.

Pregnancy is diagnosed by a urine or blood test in most cases. You absolutely can't tell by symptoms.  You don't say why you are frightened to go to the the doctor.  Is it because you are young, or are you simply afraid of the doctor?

Frequent urination and eating more can also be symptoms of diabetes.
