This is my second time getting this in just a few months and im 6 months pregnant. I never had this issue before so wondering why it keeps happening now. Is it something to do with hormones?
My doctor explained its because of the hormone changes and extra sugar, which lets yeast grow more easily down there. Its really common in pregnancy and nothing to be ashamed of. But please dont use any cream on your own, get it checked so they give the safe one.
Hormones make it more likely, but never just buy over the counter stuff in pregnancy. I made the mistake of trying a random cream and my doctor told me to stop. Always get the right prescription from your gynac.
I got this in my second trimester and I felt so embarrassed at first, but my gynac said its totally normal in pregnancy because of the changes. She gave me a safe treatment and it cleared up. Please dont suffer silently, just tell your doctor.
Dont stress yaar, it happens to so many of us in pregnancy because of all the hormonal stuff. Just see your gynac, they sort it out quickly with the right meds. Wear cotton and keep that area dry meanwhile.
