I just need some help/advice please. I have an appointment with my hospital today (To do with pregnancy) So I will ask there too, But wondered if anyone here would give some helpful advice.
Basically, I had an appointment over three weeks ago where they took a urine test, and then afew days after I got a letter saying there was a problem, My GP and/or Midwife will contact me regarding this and to wait a week and call if i've heard nothing. I waited, No call. (Please note this isn't the first time my doctors were meant to call me regarding something important and haven't. Its happened atleast 4 other times during my pregnancy).
So, No call, But I had a midwife appointment around that time anyway, So Just asked when I got there. She has NO idea what I was talking about o.o She hadn't been told anything. Anyway, She went and spoke to someone, Came back and said I might have thrush. So embarrassing. She said they needed to do more tests an told me to take a swab and urine sample to the hospital at my next appointment (Which is today) and then if I do have it, they can give me treatment for it.
My problem is, I'm due to have my baby in 4 weeks and 4 days, I'm going away the weekend before and I don't want the stress of having to deal with this now :( Its already on my mind since she said).
I've been looking at what over-the-counter treatment I can use, but I can only find creams, But been told creams alone Don't work. I'd have to wait atleast 3 weeks for an appointment at my doctors just to see someone about it (Due to them being fully booked) and considering this problem arose now nearly three weeks ago, I feel my midwife / doctors aren't being very helpful :(
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or advice? I'm desperate to get this sorted so I can just focus on my upcoming arrival. (My son :3 ) Thank you x
