My doctor told me that yeast infections are very common in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes, and they don't usually harm the baby directly. However, you shouldn't use over-the-counter creams without a prescription. It is always best to let your gynac suggest a safe anti-fungal treatment.
I totally understand how stressful and uncomfortable this must be for you right now, especially when you are already dealing with early pregnancy anxiety. Please take a deep breath, it is very common and treatable. Just drop a message to your doctor so you can get quick, safe relief.
I had this during my first trimester and I was crying out of fear that it would affect my little one. It was so itchy and uncomfortable, but my baby was totally fine! Just please get in touch with your doctor so they can give you something safe to ease the discomfort.
Beta, keep the area very clean and dry, and avoid any scented soaps. You can have a bowl of fresh curd daily as it is good for vaginal health naturally. But don't do any self-treatment; let your doctor inspect it and give the proper medicine.
My MIL suggested washing with warm water and wearing loose cotton panties, which definitely helped with the irritation. But she also insisted we call the doctor because you can't take risks in early pregnancy. The gynac gave me a safe gel and it cleared up quickly.
