Advice needed - bleeding (not serious)

[Marquand]

I'm 33w pregnant. I had a nasty bladder infection, which is now sorted after taking antibiotics. I'm not sure if it is the infection, the antibiotics, or any other random thing, but I have a lingering issue. My insides are fine, but the whole outside area of my labia is sore, with traces of blood when I wipe myself. I really don't think it is a major health issue, but it is sore and uncomfortable. Any advice on what I can do?

I was put on antibiotics for an ear infection and had similar symptoms afterwards - blood when I wiped and feeling very sore. Went to the GP and it turned out it was thrush - which was weird because it didn't seem like what I thought thrush was like! It cleared up with the cream he gave me. Antibiotics make thrush more likely. Maybe pop and see your GP?

Thanks Alice. I think I still have some thrush cream around - I'll see if that works.

Geez, the domino effect is real. Antibiotics lead to bladder infection, lead to more antibiotics, lead to thrush. ARRGHH!
