Thrush in pregnancy😫🙈

I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I’ve currently got thrush. Never experienced this before. I’ve been to my GP today and she’s prescribed me a pessary that I have to put in on a nighttime and also a cream that I can apply up to three times a day. Has anyone else suffered with thrush during pregnancy? I’m a ball of anxiety over it as I’m worried it’s going to harm baby😭🫶🏻

I did last time and I have as well this time. It’s really common in pregnancy. Change your towel each time after washing, if you use a shower puff/flannel make sure you wash that after using too. I don’t believe there’s any evidence of it hurting baby. If you have it when giving birth there’s a small % it can pass onto baby It’s so annoying!

Cranberry juice is meant to be good too but it tastes vile 😂

@Sophie I didn’t have it in my last pregnancy but in this pregnancy I’ve had BV and now thrush😫I like cranberry juice so I’ll buy some of that and make sure to do what i need to do Thankyou xx

Very common in pregnancy as it’s just a normal vaginal bacteria. If you are still being intimate with your partner then he may need treatment of the oral tablet, as sometimes you can pass it back and forth and men have no symptoms. Don’t be worried, you’ve done nothing wrong and it’s super common x

@Sophie oh really I wasn’t aware of that? I’ll let him know Thankyou so much xx

My sister had it loads when she was pregnant . She gave birth 5 weeks ago and my nephew is a healthy chunky monkey xx

I've had it on & off throughout my pregnancy, currently got it now it's awful 😞

@Kirsty this is reassuring Thankyou so much!xx

@Beth It is awful I agree! Hopefully it’ll be gone within the next few days🫶🏻
