he seems to think its just me being very sensitive as i've had extremely itchy skin all over... at least on the rest of my body i can scratch (yes i know a bad thing anyway LOL) but i can't walk around scratching down there

sorry not much help I know, I hope it doesnt last the whole time...

I've had this before (non-pg) and it turned out to be a UTI. My urethra was so inflamed that it was making my whole vulva burn and itch. I went on for months because i felt it was my vagina that itched and the inflaed vagina which burned when i pee'd s the regular GP never bothered testing my wee. Eventually i went to an actual STI clinic which re-tested me for all the STI's AND tested my waterworks too. I had my urine tested for bacteria and a urethral swab done (youch!) and it was i think e.coli, which lives in the bowels and can fairly easily get to the urethral/ vagina area (in my case i was careless wiping when drunk! ). Back to the docs!

doctors are so in love with testing wee while pregnant (mine does on EVERY visit which i find so annoying) - i would be amazed that on hearing of burning when weeing symptoms the doctor didn't immediately test your wee for a uti (which is really common in pregnancy apparently)??

my money is on thrush or uti - definitely have your wee tested!!

My doc has recommended to me that all women should have a tube of anti-fungal and a tube of steroid cream in their cupboards and if one doesn't work use the other. I had your symptoms, used thrush cream, no relief, used DermAid and bingo - so I probably had dermatitis or some sensitivity to new loo roll or washing powder etc.

REALLY hope it is fixed for you soon!!!

Ouchies! Sounds like thrush - I used to get the WORST thrush when I was a teenager / early 20s... I don't know why? Was almost always there, with bad flareups often. I feel your pain, it is the worst.

Are you having lots of good bacteria? Go back to the doctor, but in the meantime, lots of Yakult!

I was going to say UTI too. possibly thrush too. Or maybe you are a bit sensitive down there, maybe look into wearing cotton undies only, if you dont already?
