ARgh!!! The itching!

[Erika]

TMI alert but I have thrush. I don't remember having this when pregnant with Sasha. But I have it now and it is driving me INSANE!!!!

Talk to me about yoghurt. How long do I leave it on? Does it really work? ANy other tips to help?

My midwife had me get capsules of the helpful bacteria in the yogurt, break them open and spread them on the yeast infection in my C-section incision. That might work better than yogurt itself.

Hope it gets better!

Thanks elin! Can you get those at your local pharmacy? Must ask my doctor next time I see him.

I got them at the health food store.

Go to your GP and get them to prescribe you something LOL

I have had it from day one and I will give birth with it, so I feel your pain. I have used yoghurt when I have ran out of stuff, just to curb the itching for a bit.

I HATE yeast infections. and I am so prone to them when I'm pregnant.

This ph-balancing stuff called Rephresh has been helping me lately...but I'm be surprised if you guys have it over there yet, because it's fairly new here.

Cranberry juice?
I have heard it help but cant guarantee...In Germany we used some bacteria ovules to put inside...It was like the bestest thing and natural
