Question...I've gotten a LOT of yeast infections this pregnancy. I get them more than probably the average woman to begin with, but it seems like almost a monthly thing for me. Whateva. Are you more likely to have them during breastfeeding as well? Or can I count on them to go back to "normal"?

I have an infection.... it's from unprotected sex..... with a baby in you your body is doing too many things at once.... it could be the simplest thing.... what your drinking...eating or even sex...

It kinda depends but you can also get nipple yeast infections. It's called thrush. I've gotten it a few times while breastfeeding. But as far as vaginally yeast infections I got them a lot during my pregnancies. You can try taking a vinegar bath. It helps me balance out the pH level. Don't bathe in any soaps. Wear Cotton underwear during the day a dog underwear free at night. These are things that help me.

Also, eating sugary things makes it worse since yeast thrives off sugar.

I use RePhresh gel which is amazing but when I do have a yeasty I put regular plain yogurt in ice trays ( fill them half way) freeze them and put one in at night. It's like vagina pops lol. Plus its healthier and cheaper than using Monistate all the time. Usually after baby the vagina sort of resets itself.

Whaaaaaat?!?!?!?? I question how I don't have gills and scales because I ALWAYS take baths 🐠 lol. Well maybe you can try a shallow bath with a cop of white (clear) distilled vinegar? It might help.

@kimberlyyyy, I'll try anything once lol. I just don't have the patience for baths. it always seems like my top half is freezing out of the water or the hot water runs out or 500 other scenarios. plus, the one time I took one pregnant I got stuck haha

As weird as this sounds, it's good that you're letting your vagina "breathe" by letting it air out whenever possible. I'm a sugar fiend so that always made it worse for me. As far as the bath thing, I understand that struggle. For the vinegar bath you can do a real shallow one just enough to get to the vag and then only sit in it for 10 or so minutes, or you can try taking a full bath. Up to you. I always have to start the bath with all hot water then halfway thru switch it to cold and adjust it until I get to the perfect temp, because if I start it at the perfect temp it ends up being cold when the hot water gets all used up 😂 sad times. Lol
