Thrush

[MooMummy12]

Apologies if this has already been asked before.

Does anyone know if you can use Canesten Combi when pregnant? (I'm 16 weeks tomorrow if that helps)

I've not had chance to get to the pharmacy yet and can't get a doctors appointment (though not sure it's worth wasting an appointment)

You can use pessaries and cream but not the oral tablet. Pharmacist may not sell it to you without a prescription but you can buy it off the shelf in the supermarket instead

If you call or text your midwife they an probably give you some

A safe way to get rid of trush (advice from my GP) is to sleep without underwear so your bits can breathe. Appearently it helps your body to defeat the trush on it’s own. She said if you feel uncomfortable to be naked from the waist down in the bed, wear some very loose fitting 100% cotton pyama pants. This advice was given to me when I wasn’t pregnant though!

I think it unlikely that thrush would go away on it's own especially during pregnancy
