Question

IM 30 WEEKS PREGNANT AND HAVE GOT THRUSH WHICH AND AS BEEN REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE ONLY IM IN BETWEEN CHANGING DOCTORS AND WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY THING I CAN USE OR TAKE TO RELIEVE ME AS IT AS GOT REALLY SORE THAT WONT HARM MY BABY.

Answer 1

ask at your local chemist!

Answer 2

You acn use canesten internal cream or canesten pessary both of which are inserted inside the vagina and will solve the problem quickly. The only thing you cannot take is anything oral. The thrush will probably come back within a couple of weeks though and keep returning until you give birth that is what happened to me. Just keep going to the doctors everytime to get the canesten as it costs 10.00 in the chemist and it will get very expensive if you don't go and get the free pescriptions to which you are entitled.

Answer 3

Plain active culture yoghurt. You can both eat it and apply it to the itchy places.

Remember damp is your enemy where thrush is concerned. Dry all the parts (under the arms, between the legs, etc, with a hair dryer after you shower.

Use no creams, lotions or powders that contain scent or oil.

Answer 4

I had thrush on and off all the while i was pregnant and all i could do was apply the canesten cream.
i don't think he'll allow you to take the all in one tablet because obviously your pregnant. you won't know until you ask.

hope this helps

Answer 5

I developed thrush in my last pregnancy, apparently quite common, was prescribed canestan cream (red/white tube) ask your pharmasist but shold be ok but just use the cream. Or apparently natural yoghurt is supposed to be soothing. But the cream should be fine I now several woman who have had thrush in late pregnancy and this is what doc or midwife will perscribe.

Answer 6

if you are pregnant, it is not possible for you to just take in anything with out your doctors approval. see you have a growing child in you, and even the mildest medicines for headache may have some effects on the unborn child. i strongly suggest that u see a good ob-gyn. after all they can see phyisically ur problem and would be the best person to give u a medication to treat it without harming the little one. i wish u well.

Answer 7

altho i'm not pregnant, i recently got thrush and at the time of buying this i was buying a pregnancy test! the lady behind the counter checked for me and said the canesten cream is fine its the capsules u cant take, hope this helps!

Answer 8

Is the thrush vaginal, oral, or on your nipples?

If it's oral, try eating more yogurt. The active flora in it will help restore the proper balance of bacteria in your mouth. Same goes for the nipples. Eating yogurt will help your whole body in this case. You can also ask your doctor what kind of ointment or cream would be best to put on them.

If it's vaginal, it would be best to ask your doctor prior to using any treatment, except for yogurt, of course.

Answer 9

If its vaginal I would just reccommend taking a bath and cleaning really well down there
then maybe putting some lotion on and put some clean cotton underwear
and loose pajamas and just sleep with your legs apart or something. You could also try putting some aloe vera gel down there
or some lotion, might be soothing.

Answer 11

Lay off the sugar- and get some acidophilis - from yogurt- milk w it on the label- or capsules- the sugar helps the yeast grow- which you don't want - and so does vinegar- ru on antibiotics?? that can cause it too- take care-D
