yeast infection!!!!

It's confirmed that I have a yeast infection, so I went to Walgreens and bought Monistat 1 a (one day treatment) its the one with the ovule insert. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I'm kind of nervous to use this product I have many questions like will it work?, can it harm my baby?, Dr didn't give me nothing she only told me to go ahead and buy Monistat but there is (1,3,5 and 7) day treatment, so I bought the one day treatment because I'm really getting fed up with this itch and burning sensation. Help please!

Yes it did burned a little when I finished showering I inserted it, then i used the little wipy, then put the cream where it itched... which was everywhere!..and by the time I laid down it felt kind of cool and hot kind of like icy hot but it burned only for like 10 minutes..and the cream didn't really work, but thank god it's not as bad as it was when I got it..I'll have to talk to my Dr about this again.

I got monistat 3 day before and it burnt sooo bad! I have heard the one day burns even more because it is stronger.  I got the canesten 6 day after that and for me it worked way better.

You should not use the 1 day treatment. Only the 7. Some say the 3 is OK.

For a Yeast infection during pregnancy you are supposed to use Monistat 7. It's the most effective.
