Anybody can get yeast infections I've had 3 since I've been pregnant. Doctor told me to  eat yogurt for the good bacteria and it's actually been working!

Thrush can also just happen, you don't have to take any medications. Baby #2 got it and he wasn't on any medications, he was even formula fed.

If your really worried that your husband could have cheated call your doctor when your husband is gone. Explaining your worry and ask if they can do a blood test discreetly. In all honesty they do them no matter what you say at all your blood work visits. I do not know your husband but I don't think he cheated on you based one having thrush and a yeast infection at the same time. Your body is wore down from fighting one infection that it's easy to get another.

My husband was offended by it when he first seen that they were doing an STD test on me. I told him I wasn't worried because I know he would never cheat on me and I would never cheat on him. That it was routine blood work because there are those unfaithful men and women out there.

I don't know anything about thrush but anyone can get a yeast infection.  That's pretty common in pregnancy. I got it once and I never get them.

I know that thrush can be caused by some medications, I have a cousin who gets it due to some of the medications she takes. A yeast infection is caused by bacteria. While yes it can be spread thru unprotected sex, it does not mean that your husband is cheating.

Hi hon. Why are you worried you have HIV?  In all sincerity, every woman is tested and it is okay to be nervous but unlikely you have HIV based on statistics.  Try not to worry hon.  And science and medicine have come a long way and even if you did, they can do great things to help you and your baby.  good luck hon

if you follow the dr's orders the chances of you giving it to your baby are very slim.  in fact Cuba is the first country that has make it so none of their newborn children are born with HIV from their mothers.

Am not, but I once had to take my cousin home from the hospital because she had no where to go. The reality is if a person have the disease there are ways to protect the fetus from getting it. To me there is no shame in having it. A person just have to take care of themselves, and don't walk around spreading it. Good luck mom. Can I ask why you so scared?
