constipation and thrush

[Lcw29]

So I'm really constipated. I'm 5 weeks today and have been trying lactulose for 3 days bit it's not helping. Does anyone have suggestions?

Also I have pelvic pain and not sure if it's thrush? I hurt a bit down there too. Like a burning pain. it's the bank holiday and don't want to call 111 if I can help it.

Oh goodness I remember this stage. Lots of fiber and cranberry juice for the constipation. I used to take pure orange too put it makes thrush worse. My advice is don’t suffer just get a pessary and cream. Pessaries are safe to use in pregnancy but you don’t use the inserter you just use your fingers and ask the doctor how you can try to avoid thrush in pregnancy because it was hell for me

Are you sure it's not a UTI?

I'm actfully starting to think this as it's now making me hurt after I pee.

Definitely see a Dr as uti in pregnancy can be dangerous to baby I think if it spreads

Thanks . I spoke to a gp out of hrs in the end and they've prescribed antibiotics but said to get checked again if it gets worse.

Just to note if it’s thrust antibiotics may make it worse so just watch out for that or if it’s a UTI it might clear up the UTI but give you thrush
