Actually it is possible to have a bad case of thrush and not have any itching or burning. I had a terrible lot of it (around 32wks and then again in time for bubby to be born! uggghh), and the only way I knew was because of the discharge.

It's gross, but the midwife said it's like ricotta or cottage cheese and sometimes (this is REALLY TMI ewwww) it's greeny or yellowy in colour.

You could ask the GP/your carer if you're worried FionaJill, and there are suppositories you can put up your vagina to clear it up. You're just not meant to use the applicator (Canestan one-step) cause they worry inserting the tablet too high might irritate your cervix.

Cotton nickers are also a must; and I believe cranberry juice is supposed to be a good natural healer.
