well the plan was to DTD more frequently in these last few weeks, hopefully to encourage labour. however, i just found out that i have thrush and they dont treat it at this late stage, it wont harm the baby now or during birth (apparantly) but does this mean i should stay away from DTD?
As long as your partner doesnt mind getting it............i cant see why it would be a prob. If its painful or uncomfortable dont do it, but if not....why not ??
ETA: ive had thrush 3 xtimes this pregnancy...i didnt know you couldnt treat it at your late stage....mmm interesting. Heres hoping ive kept mine at bay now. Another thing ive learnt, is that men dont actually get any symptoms....so your partner may have it, but wont necessarily know it.....(bliss if you ask me....)
Personally, I'd avoid it. I wouldn't want to pass it on. Even if DH didn't get symptomatic, he may well carry it and give it back to me at a later stage. Maybe stick with the top end? (i.e. nipple stimulation is a good natural induction method!)
i got thrush 2 days before my edd and the ob and pharmasist both advised me to treat it with canestan 3day cream. you can't take the tablet or insert anything but you can use the cream externally. also get yourself some innerhealth plus
As someone who has been fighting with thrush outbursts for the last, oh, 3 or 4 months (gotta love those antibiotics) I'd say don't do it, stick with "other things" or at least use a condom. It's so hard to take control back over it once the guys get it!
You could try treating it naturally with yoghurt.
You gotta use the right yoghurt with all the cultures & stuff in it. I'm not even gonna try saying it let alone spelling it, lol.
You can put it 'down there' & just eat heaps & see if it helps.
Never tried it, but seen it suggested on here alot for babies.
Have fun with that, lol!
