Hi! I'm 15 weeks pregnant with oral and vaginal thrush.

Does anybody know if this can cause miscarriage or affect my baby?

Thank you Smile

Don't think it causes issues in pregnancy. You should get thrush treatments too

I have thrush (not the oral variety) for the second time in a month 😭 v common in pregnancy apparently. Doesn't cause an issue to the baby I think. You can't use the oral medication for vaginal thrush, you will need a pessary. I'm not sure about treatment for oral thrush though - best to ask your doctor.

Thrush is very common in pregnancy. Never had it before I became pregnant and I've had it 3 times during pregnancy! Doctors prescribed me cream for the area and it took about a week to clear up.
