Yes always tell your doctor when you have changes occurring in your body. Did he treat you for the first yeast infection?

I would - just so he can call in a prescription strength treatment.
My prescription for a yeast infection when I was pregnant was cheaper than over the counter Monistat.
It's normal to get more yeast infections during pregnancy.

no need to...just get the monistat 3 or 7 im pretty sure i was told not to use the 1 day stuff. and if that doesnt work then tell your ob
Only vaginal medications, such as creams or vaginal suppositories, should be used for yeast infection treatment. Oral medications are not recommended for use during pregnancy.
Only azole medications should be used. Nonprescription azole medications include clotrimazole (such as Gyne-Lotrimin), miconazole (such as Monistat), terconazole (such as Terazol), and butoconazole (Femstat).
Treatment should be used for 7 days (it can take longer to cure a yeast infection during pregnancy than usual).
In the past, nystatin (such as Mycostatin) was the drug of choice for the first trimester of pregnancy, but now all vaginal medications are considered safe during pregnancy.

Yes, call your doctor and make an appointment. I had one earlier in my pregnancy and they told me if I had any signs of another one to tell them immediately. You need to be seen for anything and everything better be safe than sorry! Good luck!
34 weeks, 6 days with my first!

Yes, they might be able to give you something for it. Unless you just use something over the counter. It is always good to let your doctor know what is going on with your body.

Whit,
Just call the OB to give them a heads up (especially if you had one earlier) and I am sure they will tell you what to do and what to get. Hear it from them -
It will ease your mind. :)
Feel better and good luck.
