I’ve currently got it (15 weeks) and I also had it at about 8 weeks. It’s absolutely awful. I spoke to the doctor and they prescribed me a course of Canesten. I’ve had it a lot over my life so I’m sure it’s that, but if it’s your first time it’s worth going in to the doctors for a check to make sure it’s thrush.
I got it bad around the middle of my pregnancy. Took me a while before thinking I just need to get checked. So midwife swabbed and said to get cream and pessary but boots only had the cream and so I stuck with that and it cleared up. Hope that works for you!
Go to a walk in centre for the right medication. If you are pregnant you cannot take the tablet but can use the cream. It's a miserable condition. I liken it to sitting on a hedgehog! Hope you are feeling better soon.
For thrush, you can try using over-the-counter antifungal creams or ointments specifically made for treating thrush. It's also important to keep the affected area clean and dry. If the thrush persists or gets worse, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance and treatment options. Take care!
I had it so many times while I was pregnant. It was a nightmare! Go to your GP and they can check it’s defo thrush and then prescribe pessaries and a cream for external use. The cream works really well for the discomfort and pain! Good luck x
