I did last week! I think the advice is to ask them, but I think if you're quite prone to thrush, you just know when you have it 😅 I also used the applicator which I read in some places you aren't meant to but I tried using fingers and you just can't get it high enough! Xx

Cream yes and pessary but without the applicator. My midwife told me to do 3 days of pessary and have my husband use the cream. I would talk to your midwife though because if you’re in the UK they can prescribe you the pessaries and prescriptions are free when you’re pregnant, and otherwise they’re like £15 each

Also doesn’t hurt to call your midwife and check!

I would definitely talk to your midwife or gp because if not all the thrush is treated then it cause problems for you and baby. I had thrush a couple of times when I was pregnant, thought it was minor at one point but ended being prescribed a pessary for 5 days! Just don’t risk it

Hi yes, I have had thrush like 3 times in all trimesters and have been able to use both the pessaries and the cream- I’ve just been told to be mindful in not putting the applicator all the way up to the cervix!
