Pregnancy and Itching

[karla]

This might be TMI, but has anyone else experienced vagianl itch while they were pregnant. It is driving me crazy. I am pretty sure it is not a yeast infection - the only symptom is the itching. Is it safe for me to use something like Vagisil to get some relief?

Terribly sorry I didn't see your thread sooner so maybe you already have the answer to this question, but I would call and talk to a nurse before using any medicine, but when I was pregnant I had my first and only yeast infection. Pregnant women are more likely to get it and I hardly noticed, so you may have one just not bad. I think I used Monistat 7 on my doctor's recommendation...

If you're still having problems, eat yogurt until you can't stand to eat it anymore. It's a good source of calcium + it's one of the best ways to get rid of yeast.

Thanks guys. It seems to have gotten a lot better, now if I can only make it through the next 10 weeks without dying from this heat
