Sensitive skin on vagina!!!

Please please tell me I’m not the only one atm! I’m currently 21 weeks with my first baby and have been struggling with thrush / irritation down below for the past 2-3 weeks and it’s driving me insane!! Is anyone else struggling with this or is it just me? 🫠🤣 any advice at all is welcome x

My LO has just turned 1 but seeing this reminded me of when I was pregnant, I went through the exact same thing!! It was honestly awful, I’m so sorry you’re going through such discomfort!!😫 a couple of things that helped me was the canesten combi internal cream & the canesten pessary, as well as loose clothing after a cool shower and gently washing with just water externally etc! I hope you feel better asap xx

I have it too :( I find it’s a bit better if I shower first thing in the morning and the. I’m also using the canesten cream

You’re not the only one!! I’m 21 weeks too and constantly using canesten or a non hormonal moisturiser

Thank you @Effy & @Kathryn so much! Honestly just knowing it’s not just me makes me feel so much better! 😩 it’s been really bothering me these last few days, feel like I’m at my wicks end with it. I’ve picked up the canesten combi pack today so hopefully it makes a bit of a difference 🤞🏼 thank you again 🫶🏻 xx

I was the same! I washed with femifresh and warm water 2 times a day, plastered myself in vagisil and kept drinking lots of cranberry juice and water, I used pantiliners so vagisil wouldn't soak through 😅 it went away after a few weeks

I had this so much during pregnancy. I took to calling it permathrush because it just wouldn’t go 🤣 3 weeks before I went into labour, my GP prescribed a 2 week course of pessaries, with the external cream. My midwife also recommended a probiotic at the same time. This combo finally worked for me and I didn’t have any issues after that. My LG is 3 months now and it’s been fine since then! Best of luck!
