Itchy vagina, help please!

So, for the last few days my vagina had been unbearably itchy. Also the lips are kind of swollen. I'm so uncomfortable it's making me cry! Anything I can do for it?! Even just sitting here is horrendous! It's getting painful!
I don't wash with anything but water, and have been just wearing my pjs around the house with no underwear, but it's not got better it's getting worse I think. It's driving me mad 😔. To add, I'm 33 weeks pregnant so not sure if I can use Canesten cream?

It'll be thrush. It's common in pregnancy.

I used the pessery but used a finger rather than the applicator and the cream.

How soon did it work?! I'm just so miserable with it I need to relieve it somehow and fast

Try the cream gel pessary. It dissolves faster than the tablet one and is soothing.

I use it at bedtime. Usually more comfortable by morning. But carry on with the cream for a few days.

That's thrush. Really common and I had it with DD. Go to your GP rather then self medicate. I had 7 days of pessaries prescribed.

I hope you get sorted soon- it's awful.
