As stated above, lots and lots of yogurt. Yogurt has live active cultures that restore normal ph. Yeast grows when that is off scale from normal. Pregnancy can also be a time where women will get yeast infections even if they don't normally get them. It won't harm the baby. Check with your doc about it transferring to baby in the form of oral thrush, if you have an active infection during a vaginal delivery. I've heard that can happen, not 100% sure though.

If you are seeing a regular doctor maybe try and OBGYN for this issue, not sure but they may have more specific knowledge about that. I once had a terrible problem with yeast infections and they treated my husband (then boyfriend) also turned out is was a type of STD not a bad one that men can be carriers of without knowing it and it does not mean they cheated it can be for years they carry and not be bothered by it. they treated us both again with a specific antibiotic and it cleared up. I am sorry it was so long ago I have no idea the name of it.

There's nothing to worry about. Babies get it constantly anyway. It's just yeast so it won't harm the baby. The doctor may need to either try something different, have you take a stronger dose of what you're taking or take it for longer.

Not sure, just wanted to make sure if you didnt know, to dry things on the hottest setting, or in the sun - it can live in clothes. Also eat lots and lots of yogurt.

no it shouldn't harm your baby, just keep going to the doctors if you keep getting it. if you have it before you give birth-if delivering naturally baby could catch it through being born
