Shower because baths can actually cause a yeast infection. That's what my obgyn said.

Omg it's the worst but it's best to shower . Get your gyn to prescribe you a cream.  It should go away withing 2-3 days

I showered when I had them , it felt better & the dirty water can make it worse. Monistat works great for yeast infections to!!

I say baths. And change your wash into sensitive wash, like summers eve. I had lots of vag problems at the beginning of my pregnancy until I changed my wash and stop putting bubble bath and salts and stuff like that in my water.
