Ah I had a yeast infection at the start of my pregnancy and it wasn't like a little itch! It was horrible it could be anything hun weird stuff happens when your pregnant could be discharge irrating your skin or sometimes when clothes are to right and sweat... Lots of easy things could explain it!

Yeast infections during pregnancy are caused by pH changes in your body. Very common, just visit your Dr like the ladies suggest, and add yogurt to your diet to try and prevent future problems.

My doc just called in a pill after she diagnosed it and I felt fine the next day. Not sure what causes it!

Cotton underwear, yogurt, lots of water, and insist on dr exam! its most likely just a yeast infection which is super common during pregnacy, but it could also be a bacterial infection which could lead to serious problems for baby. Get to Dr when u can in the meantime keep a pocket full of lady wipes and a few panty liners stashed in ur purse. Good luck!

I never had a yeast infection until this pregnancy either. Its easily caused :(especially with all the extra moisture down there. Try to eat yogart it helps keep everything balanced to help prevent them. Dont wear tight pants or underwear and try to keep dry:)

its probably just a yeast infection. Don't get monistat bc the cream they give for itch can't go into the vagina it's just for the outer layer. Buy the off brand like 12$ and try that. Insert the cream and the put it on the itchy area.

Do you have a smell as well or just an itch? And is there a discharge as well? If no foul smell its probably a yeast infection.  Very common and easy to treat. I wont kill you but if its truly uncomfortable I'd call the after hours line and get it treated before your next appointment
