41 yo and having female issues during pregnancy

[tntmommy02]

Im 26 weeks this is my second pregnancy and i want to know is anyone have been having yeast infection issue? I have had more infection during this pregnancy then in my life. I have gained weight im now 205lbs never been this size and i wonder if it's due to weight gain and it being hot and moist in that area all the time. Any suggestions?

Thanks great comfort to know it's not something im doing. The laundry detergent is a great idea and im going to ask my dr about the probiotics i eat yogurt all the time.thanks again

They are very common in pregnancy and just due to the hormones. Get a script or recommendation from your dr for treatment as home remedies tend not to work although my dr encourages eating yoghurt and taking probiotics as well as treatment. I also found washing all of our clothes in an antibacterial laundry detergent helped and don't forget to treat your partner too if you're still sexually active as he can reinfect you. Good luck!

Also I've gained 50 pounds... I'm in my ninth month and I'm soooo done. But don't worry it will come off

I've never had a urinary tract infection in my entire life and I've had 2 this pregnancy thus far... I hear yeast infections are normal too... It is just part of the process don't stress about it.
