My tracker said vaginal infections are common due to pH changes. I asked my doctor and she gave a safe pregnancy cream.

Stay clean and dry, use simple cotton clothes. Don't use any scented soaps, and please ask your doctor for a safe cream.

I felt this too and thought it was normal, but it was a yeast infection. My doctor gave me some tablets and it cleared up fast.

I am also experiencing this slightly. Is it safe to use coconut oil or should I wait to ask my doctor?
