thrush - worried about baby - TMI**

[CrazyLady]

They use canestan to treat in bubs and it's more an issue if undetected. My friend just had to put canestan in bub's mouth, steralise bottles with the disinfectant stuff (milk never came in) and keep and eye on bub's bits. If it's in bubs mouth you have to canestan nipples too i think. They'll let ya know what to do if it does happen to transfer.

Have a chat with the pharmacist, and mention it to your carer next visit, your concerns. I've had it a couple of times and the GP has prescribed a double course of the creams

I had extremely bad thrush while heavily pg with DD2. Midwives and I were concerned it would transfer to bub during labour, but fortunately it didn't. I think I was just lucky though as it was really bad.

There are some pessary tablets that you can use as well. I had it really bad early in this pregnancy and was told NOT to use the applicator as it could go through the cervix and puncture the membranes.

The pessary tablets are technically a 7 day treatment where you put them in as far up as you can push them (get DH to do it for you) every evening but I was told that you can double them up to make it go quicker. After 7 days I was completely thrush free and haven't had a problem with it since.

Hope that helps

I'm sure things will be ok. Thrush is a fairly mild and easily treatable infection. Even if bub got it, I'm sure it would be ok.

Here's a link I found very interesting, for you. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ic-129613.html

A friend of mine had really bad thrush when she had her last bub. She didn't realise it was thrush but the midwife commented on how bad it was. There wasn't any problem with the baby though.
