Sore and sort of itchy down below

[corduroybear]

5.5wks. I feel sore around my labia - particularly on wiping but most of the time to be honest (kind of feels like how I felt 'dry' a lot when I was BF). It also feels like I've scratched an itch when I wipe: that relief feeling.

No weird discharge or anything smelly so I don't think it's thrush.

Any ideas: can I just use Canesten?

It could be thrush. The canesten cream and pessary are safe in pregnancy (not the oral tablet). I would suggest seeing GP as may need a swab to make sure it isn't anything else.

Ok - thanks. Will try to get an appointment.

I had this with no discharge and was actually the worst thrush I had as I believed it wasn't that without discharge and didn't get a prescription till it was really bad, turned out it was and a pessary sorted me out!

Argh.

I just knew this pregnancy would be the worst one...!
