Constant yeast infections!

Has anyone had more than one yeast infection since the start of pregnancy? I'm 20 weeks 1 day and I'm on my 3rd yeast infection. I can't stand the itching. It is driving me crazy. I can't have sex (oral or vaginal), heck I can't even masturbate.

I had to run out of the store today because the itching was so darn bad.

I'm constantly dry, I only wear cotton underwear and I eat a nutritious diet.

What do you do to prevent this?

Try increasing your your water intake and cranberry juice. Good luck hope things get better and my doc told me to drink at least 2-3 liters a day.

It's awful. It just has to do with your hormones unfortunately.

So frustrating. I eat two yogurts a day. Nothing seems to be working. I'm so uncomfortable.
