If u shave down there that could cause it because your skin changes so much during pregnancy and becomes more sensitive. My Dr recommended that I just trim during pregnancy to avoid skin irritation and also little nicks r great breeding grounds for bacteria and infection.

Not sure where your from but in aus you can get what they call Vagi wash from the chemist is has got any soap in it, its ph balanced something like that could help, also taking showers not baths, cleaning with fresh water the rest of your body hasnt been flotting in my help.

For my first and this pregnancy I have gotten extremely itchy in the first trimester! For some it's a yeast infection and others it's simply just the change in hormones.
Even though you aren't using a new soap...try not to get it down there too much. You can compress with a cool cloth and try to keep it aired out as much as you can.
It's sooo aggravating...mine wasn't all symptoms of a yeast infection but I still treated it with the 6 day cream. Some docs and midwives are very different on the treatment so I would talk to your doc before doing one.

First of all you should avoid hot baths - especially in the first trimester, exposure to temps that are too high can cause birth defects..so stick to warm  baths!!!

Secondly...you got checked for a yeast infection, right? I think I'm remembering you correctly?
