ugh yeast infection!?

[blakemh]

Did any body get a yeast infection within the first couple months of pregnancy?  

[Desireebrianna]

Yes. I did. So uncomfortable

[a_miracle_in_me]

I do all the time

[blakemh]

Soo miserable. I hate that you cant just take a pill for it when ur pregnant.  The cream is aweful.  I just wanted to make sure it was normalized just found out I was pregnant. After having a miscarriage last month. Im paranoid of every little thing now

[blakemh]

**normal

[LauraElizabeth615]

Yes I did like the first month. Coconut oil, garlic, and apple cider vinegar works great!

[jasmean]

You can take a pill...

[number3andme]

Only get them while pregnant

Never had one till I got pregnant then all of a sudden j had 4 within the first 20 weeks. I couldn't believe it was real life.

[blakemh]

Its miserable for sure. But due to them changing the drug category during pregnancy for the pill (diflucan) I dont feel its safe during pregnancy.  The category was changed last year to a C for the first dose during pregnancy and then a D for the second dose.

What did you do with the coconut oil?  

[LauraElizabeth615]

I would roll a small bullet size amount of coconut oil in cling wrap and then freeze it. At night take it out of the freezer when you're ready to jump into bed. Put a panty liner on first and then put it in like a tampon and lay down. Some may leak out and that's fine! It's great for your skin so even if it gets in your but a little, it's safe. By morning it will have soaked in anyways.  It's best to do this right when you suspect a yeast infection. Otherwise, you may need to do this a couple of nights in a row.

I'm 38w and I've had two yeast infections. And yes they're so uncomfortable. My doc had me purchase monistat the first time and the second time she prescribed me a pill. Keep it dry down there to avoid itchiness. And wear cotton panties. Me I went comando at night just to let everything breathe.
