What the... yeast infection?!?

So now I have a case of yeast infection. If it's not one thing it's another. I don't know the soonest I will see my doctor. So now I need to know... Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can take safe to hold me on on this uncomfortable feeling of having a yeast infection until I see a doctor? Any safe home remedies money is tight?

Monistat 7 is safe. Apple cider vinegar helps too. You can take a bath with it, like someone said above or dab it around your vagina. Another great natural safe route is coconut oil! I have frozen little bullet size pieces and right before I went to bed, insert like a tampon. Wear a pad! But coconut oil is antibacterial and antifungal so it kills the yeast.

Also regular Greek yogurt it has to be cold once it dries up wash it off at least 3 times a day or insert it into your vagina wear a pad n it will bring down the yeast n wash up you may want to get a big bucket bc being pregnant you can continuously have yeast infections

My doctor told me monistat 7 day also when I had one at like 12 weeks. I guess they're really common in pregnancy...

I took monistat 7 day cuz doc told me too and im fine now. Its $15 and i understand ur on a budget so if u cant do that, get some Braggs raw unfiltered apple cider vimegar and pour 2 cups into bath water and sit for 30 mins. It will help a lot not sure it will cure it though but will ease discomfort until u see a doc. Can purchase at walmart for $5 if not any raw unfiltered apple vinegar. Must have the "mother" in it.aka the brown sediment at bottom of bottle. Also eat activia yogurt. Good luck!:)

Check with your DR
But probiotics are safe, I take Good Belly brand. I get them at WholeFoods or Fresh Market for about $5. They help keep me regular.

Ask your pharmacist about which kit is safest to use while pregnant.
