yes xx

Yes! I have used one at 37 weeks, both hospital and my midwife said it was absolutely fine and safe to use. However, the pharmacy wouldn’t sell it to me due to their licensing so I had to ask my mum to get it for me!

@Megan thank you for the heads up! Was it the normal 500mg hard pessary you got or the soft gel one xx

Yes it was the 500mg hard pessary, the canestan duo pack ☺️ and no problem! All they said to me was to not use the applicator because it can scratch and make you bleed/prone to infection Xx

I’ve used one tonight 37+5 the soft gel one I’ve used them twice previously this pregnancy and just not used the applicator

I had one from the hospital a while back they said just don’t use the applicator just insert with your fingers. I wasn’t as far along so maybe just call the midwife 😊

I believe so. They don't want you to use them only after your due date because baby is coming soon and they don't want baby to interact with meds physically.
