Has anyone else gotten yeast infections? I'm going crazy because I just got my second one in less than three weeks!!! 😟😫
@skyy12221, oh man that does suck!!! I have had that happen to me before and it was awful!!!
@joanajusino me too I was so mad because the day before I got it I had a prenatal appointment and I didn't have it and the next day I got it. And it sucked cause I went out of town so I couldn't call my doctor.
@skyy12221, oh geez!!! I hate UTIs, I take cranberry pills to keep those away! They work like a charm
@joanajusino I know the feeling I had one 3 weeks ago accompanied by a uti
@joanajusino lol I learned the hard way I use to get them before I ever got pregnant and then when pregnancy hit I got them more, now I do my best to avoid them cause I hate itching down there
@joanajusino 😂😂 coconut oil is safe please use lube if too dry don't need you to be uncomfortable lol but outside of sex just keep it dry like after showers dry it and put cotton underwear on. If your underwear gets too wet change them. So you don't encourage another one.
@skyy12221, i thought that since it's natural it would be ok and safe as a lubricant.
@skyy12221, so keep it as dry as possible and stop being horny. Lol jk 😜 so when having sex should I use lube if I'm too dry down there or not? Because I have days where I am super dry down there but want sex. My SO and I use coconut oil as lube but I'm wondering if that's a bad thing to use.
@joanajusino its when the yeast and bacteria levels in the vagina are altered due to a rise in estrogen levels during pregnancy and excess moisture down there can cause them too because of the increase in vaginal fluids. Sometimes you can avoid them sometimes you can't but if you take the steps to avoid them you can reduce your chances of getting them.
@skyy12221, do you have any idea what causes yeast infections? I have never had one until now.
@joanajusino I know it sucks! For me when I get them I crave sweet stuff and I don't know why but I have to suffer, my cravings aren't worth the symptoms getting worse. But you're welcome! Once it goes away you can have sugar again just in moderation.
@skyy12221, @aprilhearts, wow I had no idea that auger could be the cause! My SO started eating jolly ranchers and I kinda joined him... that's about around the same time it started getting itchy and stuff. Thank you so much! Sugar free diet here I come!
Just wear loose fitted clothing, cotton underwear, and don't overdo it with sugar. And when you do have one avoid sugar cause yeast feeds off it and it gets Worse and try to keep your vagina dry which is kinda hard with an increase of vaginal fluids during pregnancy. Meaning wear liners or if your undies get wet change them.
@joanajusino you're welcome 😊
