alrighty.
so i found out that i was pregnant with our second baby a little over a month ago. i havent been to the ob/gyn yet because we dont have insurance and i am waiting to see if my medicaid application clears. i should find out soon. i already know what ob/gyn i want to go to and they have a really awesome midwife that i have read very good things about on here. since i am not a patient yet i cant call and ask questions,so i thought i'd ask here. i am pretty sure that i have a yeast infection now. i remember getting one a few times with my first pregnancy,and my ob/gyn would always tell me to get monistat. i reaaaallly do not want to go that route this time. i have been eating plain yogurt and drinking water and plain cranberry juice with grapefruit seed extract and inserting plain yogurt into my vagina. i also soaked in an apple cider vinigar bath for 20 mins the other night. i still itch like crazy though. its been like this for a few days now,at first i had some chunky white dishcharge,and it has gone away now. any discharge i have now has been light yellow and mucus-like. i think what i am doing might be helping,but i am not sure. i know it takes time to wipe it out. today at whole foods i saw a product by boiron called yeast away. it says that of you are pregnant to ask a dr. first before you use it. has anyone here used it while pregnant and has it helped you? also,i have read about using boric acid suppositories and them working really well. is this safe while pregnant though? any info would be GREATLY appreciated! thank you so much!
