Monistat for yeast infection while pregnant?

A

Hi ladies. I’m almost 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby so I’m new to all this. For the past week, I’ve been on an antibiotic to treat bacterial vaginosis. I think the antibiotic has given me a yeast infection, which I’ve heard is common. I have thick discharge and a mild/moderate burning sensation when urinating. My question is, is it okay to just go get an over the counter medication like monistat to treat the infection? Or should i call my doctor and get a prescription instead? Thanks in advance 😊
