Infections

Have they tested you for bacterial vaginosis? I kept getting yeast infections for a long time and just treated them OTC. When I finally asked my Dr about it, I tested positive for both yeast infection and BV. They gave me a RX for both, and I haven't had one since! This was probably a year ago.
@Makelle they just swabbed me and said you have yeast infections and that was it they didn’t say anything else
@Jenn I mean yeast is really the least of my worries just bc it is so common and not that worrying compared to like bv or strep B
I didn’t know about yeast infections to be honest with you. I knew they happened but not that they were common or led to other things. Most of the “common” pregnancy symptoms I’m having with this pregnancy I didn’t have with my first
@Cindy I would ask them! And if they say no, make sure it's because you're not showing symptoms! But the symptoms can be so similar.
@Makelle yes symptoms are all just alike I’m trusting they know since they swabbed me but just like she said the yeast can turn into other things .
I feel you- I have had 3 this pregnancy which is terrible. I’m trying Clairvee probiotic which seems to be helping…
Try taking cranberry capsules. I added them to my daily routine with my vitamins years ago and I haven't had a uti or yeast infection in 12 years!
I just read how common it is to get yeast infections during pregnancy. I’ve never had one so it scared me.
