I’ve had it twice this pregnancy, and just had a swab to check a third time 🙄 never had it before this pregnancy! I just got the pessary and cream from the pharmacy and all good but I did have a swab to confirm I had it x
I had loads with my first and used to use canesten cream/tablet thing. Doc used to prescribe it for me as it was like £15/£20 each time
I had it loads with my first, just use canesten.. I’m pretty sure you can’t use the tablet/pessary when pregnant? Maybe give it a google! Xx
I suffered bad with this in last pregnancy. You can use a pessary still to treat it
It's common also vaginal dryness is as well so could be either. My GP gave me a cream for Dryness and it sorted be out after trying canesten a couple times because I assumed it was thrush x
I’ve had it during this pregnancy - you can use the cream and pessary - just make sure you insert it with your fingers and Not the tool provided x
I’ve not had it when pregnant but know it’s more common when pregnant. Go to the pharmacy counter and see what they say. Don’t buy one in the shop without the midwife or pharmacy say so xx
