I have been feeling very itchy?

Question

i am in my 36th week of my pregnancy i have had 2 yeast infections. one in my 10 week and another in my 30th. im feeling very irritated. my doctor okayed me to use vagisil and i used it now, but if it turns out to be another yeast infection should i use monistat this close to delivery? also the last time i went into the hospital the doctor said nothing can go up there anymore, wouldnt that include monistat?

i have been having contractions too. maybe im close to delivery has anyone become become very sore and irritated before delivery? when i was putting the cream on i noticed it feeling very sore.

Answer 1

I had several yeast infections with my daughter and it can be very sore!  I would just talk to your doc about it because if he said you couldn't stick anything up there i would think that means monistat too! it is better safe than sorry! Congrats on the baby!!

Answer 2

ask your doctor if you can take probiotics such as acidophilis.. I get mine from a naturopathic doctor and it is medicinal grade. These help a LOT with yeast infections. in the meantime you could probably put a little of the monistat cream on the outside of your v****a.. if you have some cream.. again ask your doctor about that. Might not cure, but might take away some of the itchy discomfort, keep everything down there really dry and wear only cotton panties. dont wear any underpants at all at night if you can help it.. you need air down there. good luck with your birth and keep well the next few weeks. congrats! oh.. one more thing,, cut out refined carbs and any sugar and or soda pop for a few days, that can help clear up a yeast infection too.
