Advices please.

if I had a yeast infection and I know there very common during pregnancy and the doctors gave me meds and I just had sex with my husband can he catch the yeast infection? And because we just had sex how do you know if a vagina is expanding? Because I'm due in 7 days and I didn't do any Lamause class and my mom lives up north and won't be in town for my delivery I honestly have no idea what I am expecting to do in a few days.

Chances of passing your husband the yeast infection are little.
Your cervix is now 3 cm dilated, that means the part at the end of your vagina that separates your baby from the entrance. Contractions make you dilate, so when you start feeling them know that your cervix is opening so you can push the baby out.

My meds are already finished I took the last one a few days ago. And he's has a cold so Monday he does see his doctor and I'll have them check.

You should not have sex until 7 days after finishing your antibiotics. Ur husband needs to see his doc or if your obgyn can give him antibiotics you should ask for it because it is a very good chance for him to catch the infection. Before you and him have sex again he needs to get cleared of the infection which wont be until after you have baby by wat i read. If you do have sex again before your due date you can get reinfect.

I guess cervix I don't really understand what the doctor told me as far as 3 diameters and I am supposed to be at 10 this week. My due date is August 9th and if I'm not at 10 on my due date there going to do enduced labor so that way my baby can come out by next week if he doesn't come out on my due date

When you're talking about getting your vagina to expand, are you actually referring to the cervix? Just wondering because those are 2 different things, and by reading your other posts it seems ljke you're talking about the cervix but you keep saying vagina.

Yes, you can pass the yeast infection to your partner which is why its best not to have sex until your cured.
