absolutely out of control yeast infection! HELP!

Went to my midwife yesterday to get checked out for my 3rd yeast infection in a month, and she found no live yeast, and no reason I should be this uncomfortable...but the itching and pain is extreme and unbearable. I am actually completely swollen down there and she has no clue why! I don't know what to do it hurts so bad and I've never been swollen this bad! No burning when I pee or anything and no blisters or bumps at all...just completely itchy painful and swollen...I see her again on Thursday but until then what the heck do I do? I've got some benzocaine spray she told me to use and I've been taking vinegar baths but nothing Is helping its just getting worse...

Maybe your doctor should treat you for BV instead of an yeast infection it might work

I had the same problem with the swelling and itchiness, and I done some research and since we discharge a lot more while pregnant it can make the area a lot more moist an causes it to be swollen an irritated and sometimes even itchy, so I use regular panty liners to help maintain dryness an the irritation has completly stopped for me.
