Is thrush in pregnancy the same as in not being pregnant? Ie feels the same?

That's interesting, I asked yesterday if Thrush showed on the pee stick & I was told no, I had to do a swab. The Pee stick was perfectly normal so no UTI but trying to rule out thrush, not sure what is wrong as it doesn't feel like normal thrush, ie no itching, no smelly discharge etc ...can someone brave the TMI for me

I've also heard that having a warm salt water bath can help relieve itching and help add recovery.

I have only ever had thrush once or twice ( I think) so I am not too sure what it really feels like. TMI but right now it is intensly itchy on the outside at the front..not internally.  would that still be thrush?

nzpiper ........yes..but could also be something else.......but there is nothing hurting you from using yoghurt or to stop itching use tea tree (will sting at first) if you do have thrush the yoghurt with cure it .otherwise go to docs and get it checked out.

Sounds like thrush to me. Also your CM will be creamy but shouldn't smell.

The yoghurt works for me but doesn't work for one of my friends so I guess it depends on the person. If you do use yoghurt make sure you get unsweetened stuff as the sugar exacerbates the thrush.

yep, creamy but not smelly.....itching actually stops when you resist itching it!!!  Funny that.  I have bought some yoghurt but seem ok...maybe just buying it is all you need to do.  It could also be soap or washing powder or loo paper as these have all changed lately.  who knows

Emmecat... I wouldn't stress. My dr prescribed me canesten a few times while I was pg & neither he nor my mw or the pharmacist mentioned anything about being careful with the applicator. So I just did it like normal... and my lil girl is now 2months old! I also think that once the placenta is doing it's job you don't have to worry as much about that kinda thing. And you'd be in that boat by now I would think

Kmarie- thanks for that hun  You certainly do have a gorgeous baby girl


I think mine must've been thrush- the swabs came back clear but mw says that doesn't mean I didn't have it and the canestan seemed to help...but I think what  really really need to do is cut right back on sugars (incl fruit sugars) and yeast...those things seems to exacerbate my symptoms. Sigh.

Ahhhh pg is so lovely.......
