We haven't people were pregnant, we're still waiting a while yet.
I'm 12 weeks, and suddenly started with the symptoms of thrush, as well as irritated skin in that area (I think I need to buy some bigger clothes nothing fits and I don't think it's helping) .

My partner called me to see how my day is going/if I'm okay (after having horrific vomiting episodes this week)

So I said I'm not too bad, I'm just annoyed because if it's not one thing bugging me it's something else, and I said 'I hate saying it because I find it embarrassing but I feel like I can only tell you, but I need to ring the doctors, I think I have thrush or something going on down there I'm just so uncomfortable and it's getting to me'

And his response was just 'alright, well I'm going now then so bye' and that was the end of the conversation?
He wasn't in any rush as his break had just started, but I felt as though he didn't seem impressed that I'd told him?

So now I'm just feeling even more embarrassed. But I don't feel like I should do? Surely I should be able to share these things with him and it not be an issue.
I just needed to get it off my chest and with nobody else knowing I'm pregnant, he was my go to.

I'm super emotional and stuff anyways at the moment but I almost felt shut down for going into detail 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

You shouldn’t feel embarrassed. I would tell my partner that too and he acted in a very immature way. I would send a text saying it’s not very supportive!

Go to the pharmacy and explain to them they’ll understand.

Definitely don't feel embarrassed! There are so many things you may experience going through pregnancy and no, they're not the best topics of conversation but you need a partner to support you through them.

Like PP has said, go to a pharmacy or contact your GP and they should be able to give you something to help.

Definitely don't be embarassed. I tell my DH all these things. I don't have a mum or sister so he gets all the details, sorry! I can tell he's not interested but he knows I need to get it off my chest and patiently listens.

Your partner is going to see a lot more in labour so I actually think its quite good to get him used to less glamourous topics!
