I don't know what to doâ€¦please give me some advice! I'm 23 and 10 weeks pregnant and I've been dealing with yeast infection. It started before pregnancy, so I was on antibiotics, since the baby I can't take it. I feel that I left with the option of the cremes only, but every time I use them I am very irritated. I hate using the cremes. Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of having it for good?

Sorry to hear that, my advice is to try taking acidophilus. It's a supplement you can find in the vitamin aisle at the store or eat yogurt with active cultures. Did you know that sometimes frequent yeast infections can be a sign of a health problem like diabetes? Have you checked your blood sugar recently? My sister had yeast infections for long time, because she kept getting strep and having to have antibiotic shots.

If you want to try the yogurt that should be fine, however do not take any suppliments without talking to your doctor first. The cremes, such as the 1 day monistat will help. Yeast infections are extremely normal during pregnancy because of the hormone changes. Remember to wear loose fitting pants and cotton panties and that should also help.
