    I too get Thrush on and off and I have been told to use Canisten Cream but my Chemist told me not to use the applicator - but I think it would be fine as long as you don't put it in there too far Congratulations on your Pregnancy!

    I would give the natural yoghurt a go. Eating it is good for thrush, but it can also be applied as a cream to the area as well.
    I'm sure if you googled it you could find some more info
    I'd honestly feel much better with that than any pharmacy medication personally. I'm a bit like you in that sence as well.

    YOGHURT, LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS
    The external use of plain (no-sugar), live (acidophilus-cultured) YOGHURT is a very good natural cure for yeast infection since it helps to restore the normal vaginal flora. ACIDOPHILUS tablets are also good preventatives for getting a yeast infection, since they support the healthy native bacteria in the vagina. Often they are able to cure lighter yeast infections.
    You can use this yeast infection treatment during pregnancy

    YOGHURT tampon or pad or vaginal rinse
    •Dip a tampon in live, natural yoghurt and insert it into the vagina for 4-5 hours.
    •You can also spread some live, natural yoghurt on a sanitary towel and wear it for a few hours.
    •It is a bit messy, but very effective to insert into the vagina 2tsp (10ml) live yoghurt with a vaginal syringe for 7 days straight at bedtime. The yoghurt flows out slowly, but a thin layer remains on the vaginal wall. Wear sanitary pads if using this method.
