Yeast infection w/ pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I are not TTC (me more than him) but not preventing it either. It feels as though I have the beginning stages of a yeast infection. Ive only had one yeast infection and it was due to the nuvaring changing my pH. I wondered if any of you had developed a yeast infection due to pregnancy? Maybe I'm just being too hopeful? I have a little under 2 weeks before I'll know if I have a missed period. Just wanting answers.

Answer

I'm confirmed pregnant, at 9weeks, and I have a yeast infection. I tried the yogurt, no panties overnight (to try and let more air in to help your PH), etc. with no luck. It had gotten pretty bad before I did something (the sooner the better do there isn't any bacteria issues and development), sorry for the TMI. I called my OB and she told me to do the monistat 7 (day), not sure why the 7 and not the 3, 1 or pill. But that's what she said, so that's what I did. It's seemed to help, and I try to monitor/minimize things that could make it worse (staying in a bath too long, sprays (for some women), non cotton underwear/liners in underwear, etc). But..... If in doubt, call your OB/Gyno. Good luck on both baby and Infection.
