Yeast Infection While Pregnant .. Posted: 06-27-07 23:12pm
Hello everyone. I recently have found that
i have a yeast infection. Now before i was
pregnant i seemed to only get them when
taking meds for a cold, or flu, or
whatever. But i am 14 weeks pregnant, and
have one. What would cause this, and is it
something that is common in pregnancy. Or
is there something i should avoid, or not
do to avoid them. Cause we all know how
wonderful they really are

hahah welcome to my world!!
they suck!
very common during pregnancy.. you just
use a normal multi day treatment cream to
get rid of them, my doctor recommended
femstat because it treats the most strains
of yeast out of any of the others.
things you can do to avoid them..
cranberry juice
cut back on sweets
no undies while you sleep
cotton undies
lose fitting pants
just watch them close ive now is a
bacterial infection.. fun fun fun!
the joys of pregnancy!

Thanks for the advice! I was given the
oral pill from my doc. Has anyone ever
taken this while pregnant. I just got it
yesterday, and i have a bit worried about
taking it. I don't know anything about
this stuff while pregnant. All i know is
there is SO Much stuff you can't do while
pregnant.

Yeah i called over to the office the day i
knew i had one, and they called me back,
and said that they would call me in the
oral pill. And i said well i am pregnant,
and she put me on hold, and came back and
said it would still be ok. So i'm not
quite sure lol. I didn't take it just in
case. But would anything over the counter
like creams be ok?

i know for a fact creams are okay..
im sure other people will input on this
one..I personally was just told your
couldnt take any oral medication for yeast
infections while pregnant.. but if the
doctor said it was okay id assume itd be
okay.
im sure other people will comment on
this..
hahah if it is safe id be pissed!!
ive begged for it and i always just get
cream, which doesnt work half as well.

My dr prescribes the oral pill whenever I
get an infection. He looks good in all of
his u/s so I guess that it doesn't affect
him. I think that you will be fine though.

Hi, I am 9 weeks 1 day pregnant today and
would like to know what are the symptoms
of yeast infection.
I do feel itch down there for quite
sometimes but it does not burn or feel
anything when I pee. Unless I scratch it.
The itch is unbearable, of coz.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

believe me I have unfortunately become an
expert of yeast infections just recently!!
I have had a
reoccuring one that wont go away with this
pregnancy!!
symptoms can include feeling a constant
itching or burning sensation down below
and a white clumpy discharge. The longer
you have it the worse the irritation
becomes!
I have been treated for thrush 4 times in
this pregnancy and never once been given
the oral pill because I was told not to
take it either. I have had creams and
pessarys (sp?) Which are definitely safe
to use. Although I cant see why your
doctor would give it to you if it wasnt
safe
Best things you can do to avoid them are
what vanessa said above, and use
unperfumed products in your bath like
soap, bubble bath etc, and make sure your
drinking enough fluids, always use panty
liners too esp, while pregnant! It might
be an idea for your partner to be treated
too, this is just done with the same cream
that you could use. It can be passed
backwards and forwards between you both
really easily through intercourse and he
may have no symptoms at all
