Help please!
Im nearly 34 weeks and very uncomfortable with what I think is thrush.
I bought canestern pessary today and my husband read on the leaflet that it shouldn't be taken during pregnancy.
Online advice is conflicting.

Any doctors out there?

My doctor told me it was fine and prescribed one but I myself am not a Dr!

Oh but thats great to know! Was this recently? Did the dr say not to use the applicator?

Pretty sure you can use the pessary without the applicator. You can also use the cream. You definitely can't take the oral medication though.

I’ve had 4 or 5 so far.

I had this prescribed by my midwife - totally fine, just don’t use the applicator and insert by hand!

Thanks everyone! I used it and feel sooo much better this morning. Oh the joys of pregnancy! 😁
