I'm so uncomfortable!

So here's an awkward opener: my crotch has started itching like crazy. It's so bad I can't even sleep. I can't call my Dr until tomorrow, so I'm just not sure what to do. I started antibiotics a couple days ago so I'm thinking it might be a yeast infection? I've also had an increase in Braxton Hicks, which isn't really helping the situation. Any ideas on relief?

Only if ur using bubble bath and not drying off well afterwards. Yeast womt grow in an acidic environment which is the reason for the vinegar in the water. To each their own. Just my opinion.

Not really recommended to take baths last hat is what can cause yeast infections in the first place.
I would put the ACV in some juice and drink it to fight the infection not bathe in it.

U got a yeast infection.   Every time I grt antibiotics I make them give me this certain pill (I can't remember the name of it) but at the first itch it's suppose to stop the infection from happening.   They suck badly.

Get a bottle of Braggs raw apple cider vinegar with the "mother"in it. The mother is the sediment that sits at the bottom. Pour 2 cups in ur bath water and sit for 25 mins. It will help balance out ur PH down there and may help relieve itching also. Eat yogurt everyday if possible. Take care

Most likely a yeast infection, am 19 weeks and suffering from the same thing, and thats exactly how it started, its horrible. I went to cvs and brought azo yeast and have been taking it 3 times a day since sun, my dr called me today I missed the call. I had a culture done on Thursday, am sure that's what she will say it is when I speak to her tomorrow. I pray this doesn't reoccur I read that were prone to them.

Vagacil cream should help a lot. Also benedryl might help at night.
