Thrush

[Shanti]

Hi Ren,

Sorry to hear you might have thrush! It's not a very pleasant thing to have. Even tho I am not pregnant, I have had thrush before (years ago) and a few times... you will feel itchy down there, uncomfortable, also you will or may notice a white creamy discharge that sometimes can look like cottage cheese! sorry to say (TMI!!) but that's one of the symptoms, so in which case you can pop a pill for it however during pregnancy i am not sure what you would take for it?
If there is no tablets to take etc, a great remedy and you will laugh at me but i don't mind cos' it does work!!! And it's natural!! haha! Get some "natural set yoghurt" with lots of acidophilus cultures in it and a big spoonful of it and stick that up in "that region!" IYKWIM???? IT WORKS!!! It's just messy for a little bit.... lie down after you have done it! hehe (i did this once and once only years ago! haha)I was recommended by a doctor to do it and also a friend told me once.and my mum told me! If you dont want to do this, take natural set yoghurt "orally" and eat a fair bit that will restore your good bacterias to help fight it.
ps being on the pill, when i was on it, sometimes made me prone to thrush as it creates an unbalance in your good and bad bacterias....
It's also very contagious so your partner could get it if DTD while you have it... so wait a few days if you can!
Don't I sound like the "thrush" expert? how embarrasing for me!!!
