thrush

How can I get rid of a thrush when pregnant 7 weeks ?

I'd talk to ur dr and then possibly start taking a pro/prebiotic supplement to avoid a future flare up. Pregnancy can cause thrush / Yeast infections so..eat lots of yogurt! Happy pregnancy!

I had a thrush and UTI at same time. Doc gave me antibiotics and made my thrush worst down there and I ended up with oral thrush. So I bought 1kg of natural yoghurt and ate it within 2-3 days and it helped. Thrush happens when you don't have enough good bacteria so the best thing is to restore it.  And yoghurt is good for the baby too.

I would not think it would do any harm,i used it,just dont put it as far up (if you get what i mean)I asked my midwife when i had it and she said to use that or the cream but i could not be bothered with useing the cream and it not working but the pessary did the job and i am useing soap free showergel to help.Thrush is very common in pregnancy,if you are concerned just ask your midwife or doctor to check its ok :)

Is pessary safe to use while prego ? I was on 6 months thrush treatment before I got pregnant but doctor ask me to stop taking fluconazol. I hope canesten is safe :-)

You can use Caneston pressary which is for thrush,I used that and it went away really quick.Also you might find useing a soap free bodywash helps.

So should I just wait till its gone? But its sore and uncomfortable..:'(

Monistat 7 is OK for pregnancy.
