  • No I have one... n its not the first time I had one. I also had a bacteria infection and those suck too.... call ur doc n he CAn prescribe something for you
  • They are very common in pregnancy sadly. Cos of the increased moisture, blood flow and hormone. All you can do to relieve it in the mean time is wear loose clothing and cotton underwear and try let it be exposed to air when you can. Most of the time, you should only use creams and treatments prescribed by your doctor but you could ask if there is anything over the counter that's okay. :-)
  • I had one when I was about 12 weeks, and I got meds to cure it.in week. But just so u know sex makes it.worse! Found out the hard way before I realized I had one =\
  • Oh ya hot baths helped me temporarily..with itching.
  • U can take monistat. My midwife and first dr told me to us it. Since we moved inbetween pregnancies I have a new dr in a completely different city that also tells me to use it. I always stick with the three day. However I have never needed it during the first trimester. Use it everyother month it seems by weeks 15-40
  • Thanks u guys. I didn't know what it was at 1st. Ill just talk to my dr about and get this cured cuz its the worst! :-S
  • Yea Its safe to take monistat but I use the seven day treatment because my doc said the three day wont cure it it'll just keep coming back and it does believe that's wat used first lol but if your not certain just aske your doctor hoped that helped
  • My doc told me to use the external kind ( the cream) I used it but its still a lil bit of sore ness. Now do u have to put it on the vagina lips or what. I know kinda nasty. Just need answers :-S
  • I got one at the begining of my pregnancy from antibotics from a possible uti....i just quit the antibotics I was perscribed they didnt even know if I had an uti for sure it was a just in case...i hate how Drs give you antibotics for anything...im kinda opposed to pharmas ..i prefer herbal and home remedys ......anyways I started drinking cranberry juice eating lots of yogart..and no yeast infection or any signs of uti since!!!!!



  • Yeast infections sucks I got one and that's How I new I was pregnant!!
  • i had one and it was BAD. I went to the e.r lol but they gave me monistat one day treatment and it helped internally but the outside itch didn't go away for a while. I hate them but i think i have one now, i go to my doctor tuesday so i'll find out then.
