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.
