Thrush during pregnancy....does having a neatly maintained mimsie make it better or worse??

[LadyTophamHatt]

(sorry MeggeV....stole your mimsie word)

Does it make any differnce at all??
it seem to be never ending for me and is driving me insane even though I have been using the cream etc.

better I always think, less sweaty old hair to keep things moist

sympathise I had it horrifically during last pg

Thats what I thought....its bloody hard work trying to sort it all out down there though when I can't even see it!!

It just seems continuous ATM, I might get 2 days break and it comes back again.

Htae hate hate hate it!

I went to the gp and he gave me one prescription for 6 loads of pessaries

I used THREE in one week and it did the trick

prob not actually recommended though

how pg are you?

Rather TMI here but the one wierd sympton I always get in PG is mad hair growth down there.
It grows so much longer that I feel like a mammoth...probably look like one too!!

Will kepp it neatly maintain for a while and see if that helps.

I'm 24wks now

I'm abit nervous of using pesseries TBh. I've used them before and they hurt...to the point of being in tears.

Think I have managed to make it into a phobia because the thought of using one scares me now.

no..but another wierd sympton is that my they are really flaky.

When I wear a black bra it look like I've spinkled it with flour after about an hour.

It's all really, really attractive!

Sympathies LTH - I had it constantly with DD and now am only free of it for about a day a week. Didn't think about tidiness of ladygarden as a contributing factor but will see if it makes any difference (whilst I can still see it!)

tis dry boobs. can you use a rich moisturiser or oil? had the same when I was preg
and I'd keep the lg short - esp closer to having the baby, makes things a lot easier to keep clean and fresh!

The only thing that worked for me was threading a garlic clove with a length of cotton (for easy retrieval), putting a couple of drops of tea tree in said clove and putting it up your fanjoy overnight.

I tried everything for my raging pregnancy thrush, but this worked within 24 hours.

'Fanjo'.

I did that after reading your recommendation

it makes you STINK

but it does seem to work
