Has my vagina become a hostile environment?!

My husband has been suffering last night and this morning with his penis being swollen, irritated and itchy..we had sex yesterday morning..
I am 13 weeks pregnant and don't have any symptoms.
Has my vagina become hostile?? Is he now allergic to me??
Is a bit odd-didn't happen in our first pregnancy.
He totally went off sex with me when I was pregnant last time so I'm glad we are managing the odd roll in the hay this time but I reckon this will put him off now..

Sounds like thrush I'm afraid. Men can catch it from women. Best get checked out

I put my money on it being thrush. I've had it persistently this time and I rarely get symptoms (despite getting them when I'm not pregnant!)

Thrush. My DH doesn't get any symptoms (neither do I cause I get it so much!) but I occasionally swell up after sex if I have thrush. He should use the cream that you can buy over the counter and it'll be fine. But do see a GP just to confirm that is is thrush

Ok so I'll use a canestan pessary/cream combo and get him to use the cream. Odd though as I've had thrush before it's usually really itchy.
