Ok, time for a nice fun yucky thread.
I have an appointment with my doctor on monday (they're so booked out) so I thought I'd post on here and see what you lot think first. Okay, in the beginning, I got thrush all the time, then it just buggered off (yay) but since yesterday i've been a bit rashy down below - almost like the discharge is burning my skin? I know i've had this before with thrush once when I was a lot younger, but slightly different to whats happening now. I've been tested for everything under the sun to do with STDs and all that of course so i'm not worried about that, but its just so uncomfortable :( Also i've been coming across all hot and sicky and wanting to pass out a few times over the last few weeks. Blood pressure is fine, no protien in the urine etc.. What a basket case :/ |

Sounds like it could be an infection of some kind seems as its burning and your not feeling well also. I would call your midwife and tell her as she might want to do some tests.

Monday is a long way away if you're feeling sick and faint-y! I agree with Sheena, it's probably worth running your symptoms by your midwife and seeing whether she thinks you ought to be checked out sooner. Its better to be overly cautious for the sake of you and bubs!
Hope you feel better soon! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

MissAngel, I had something similar and all the bloods and swabs I did came out clear. Midwife said that due to the extra discharge, it can be a bit more uncomfortable. Do you always use a panty-liner? That seems to help for me.
But it's still a good idea to get it checked out. Good luck! |

I have similar problem and worked out the slight rash is probably caused by those little drops of urine leaking that I'm getting. I wear panty liners because it's not a huge amount, but have now found it's better to use incontinence pads because it draws it away from the skin. Pregnancy is so glamorous, lol!
I've always gone without knickers at night, but am having to wear now with pads so girly bits don't really get time to breathe. Might have to follow advise for babies and have some 'nappy off' time, lol. ------------- Sue See my blog www.gojandal.com/wubboo http://lilypie.com">
