Is this normal during pregnancy? Please help?

Question

I have had issue while being pregnant and want to know if their is anything I can do, or if it is normal here are the questions. When you preganant are you more likely or less likely to have yeast infections? I herd that when your pregnant you should not get them as much. I still get them often.. Also is it normal to have vaginal discharge/ wetness white/clumpy/ and clear off and on for no cause? can this discharge be different at times? Is vaginal soreness during intercoure normal? And the last one is one time I was dozzing off while performing oral sex on my husband and I am ashamed I had no control of my body being exhausted and fatigued, I am currently experiencing depression, I had been only getting 2-3 hrs of rest a night and having back pains of and on for three days it seemed like my body was shutting down, We had sex just before I started to perform oral sex, could me not getting enough rest and being overly exhausted cause sleep to start to overtake me, or should I seek help on this situation

Answer 1

Everything you're talking about is totally normal.

Yeast infections are MORE common in pregnancy, not less- and they should be treated directly.

Discharge of all kinds, and in greater amounts it totally normal also.

You have greater blood flow to your vaginal area, not to mention the changing cervix and weight of the uterus, its normal to have vaginal pains.

Being exhausted is normal too. You do just fall asleep- its so hard to get any sleep, and sex is exhausting at the end of a long day with no sleep the night before. Its perfectly normal.

You're just fine.

Pregnancy is tough, and for every woman it's SO different, but fortunatley this happens to so many woman it's overwhelming and almost makes you wonder who would or could want to go through that. Being exhausted is not only a sympton you'll experience during pregnancy, but even after. The body is working overtime 24-7 to not only incubate, but virtually grow this child. Discharge is inevitable, absolutley inevitable, and the yeast infections as well. The best thing you can do to prevent those (because it is not a hygeiene problem, trust me) is perhaps consult your primary care physician on a pill they make specifically for the prevention of common yeast infections. The back pains are also another very common symptom of pregnancy. Some woman think pregnancy is the best feeling in the world, their sex drive is working overtime, and yes they feel un attractive at times, but you can also experience what your going through. Much like I did. The change in your body is so overwhelming, in addition to the fears of not being a good mother, and worrying about what your partner will do once the child is born. The acne, the mood swings, crying to NO reason, feeling overly joyous sometimes, and honestly looking in the mirror thinking your just a fat load. Can take SUCH A tole on a woman. Depression is more common after the birth, but it is not something everyone experiences. Get one of those pillows for pregnant woman ( they come in all different types) it acts as a cushin to the parts that need it most during pregnancy. Supports the lower back, and you can put one in between your legs so your hips sitt at a strait angle instead of a slant, and the back pains should be more and more mild the more used to it you get. Sleeping on your back is impossible cause of the breathing issues.... try the pillow, it's SO much more effective than you think..

Be strong hunny! You're a woman and thats what we do! Good luck on Mommy Hood, it's the most rewarding experiecne of your life and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Answer 3

All of the above is normal. Talk to your dr about the yeast infections and the depression. As for the fatigue, you really need to get more rest. I know it isn't easy, but try to get some more sleep at night and try to fit in a nap or too during the day. Your body is doing a lot of work making a baby and needs the rest.

Answer 4

You can get yeast infections while pregnant. However, I would suggest that you get checked out by a doctor to be sure that is what is going on with your body.

Answer 5

you need to talk to your doctor or midwife about these things, i'm sure most of your problems will decrease or even go away if you were to get enough sleep, sleep deprevation is not supposed to start until after baby is born. as for the yeast infections they were worst with me during pregnancy, i don't get them as often these days. but you must find a way to get some sleep go to the doctor

Answer 6

im 15 weeks pregnant and have had thrush more often but my midwife said its due to the hormones, and the vaginal dishcharge is normal as long as it doesnt smell or look a funny colour.
