Yeast Infection

I am in my second trimester of pregnancy and I currently have a horribly uncomfortable yeast infection. I read on the internet that yeast infections are very common in pregnant women due to hormonal changes. Has anyone else experienced an increase in yeast infections during pregnancy?

mariettap - 969 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) 2nd trimester hormones are notorious for this. The pH levels change and then suddenly everything goes haywire in there. This is why yeast infections and bacterial infections sometimes crop up at the same time. Do bring it up at your next OB visit so they can take a culture and set everything right. In the meantime, I hope you had some success with an over the counter remedy for the yeast. It makes my skin crawl just remembering it!

They have over the counter meds for yeast but a script is best to treat :) doc may want to see you to be sure it is yeast.
