Question

Is there any possible harm in using miconazole 3 for a yeast infection when you are pregnant. When i say harm i mean to the baby?

Answer 1

I would not advise you to use it till you talk to your doctor. It could not be a yeast infection, there is lots of crazy things that can go on down there infection wise when you are pregnant. I had a lot of symptoms of a yeast infection when I was pregnant and it was not, it was (crazy as it sounds) a strep infection. They gave me an antibiotic and it cleared up.

If you do indeed have a yeast infection, there is a treatment that is safe for the baby that your doc can prescribe you, posibly give you at the clinic. Hope all goes well for you. Good luck.

Answer 2

It is perfectly safe to use vaginal yeast preparations during pregnancy but a few things to consider.  In pregnancy, you should use a 7 day treatment, not a one day or 3 day.  You do not know for sure if it is yeast without the doctor checking.  I would suggest that you call the doc and let them know what symptoms you are having.  Ask if it would be OK to try an over-the-counter yeast treatment before your next visit and if no change in the symptoms you will come in for a check.  It will not harm the baby though

Answer 3

yes it can be very dangerous and i would only suggest using it if you talk to your dr and they tell you its ok which i dont think they will

Answer 4

You can use natural methods to clear a yeast infection.  You can use a douche containing 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a pint of water or insert a tampon soaked in acidophilus yogurt.  You will need to repeat until the infection has gone.  Safer than drugs at any time.

Answer 5

consult your dr.
