  I would give your doctor's office a call. I've had a few yeast infections as well as BV during pregnancy and I'm glad I've caught them early bc they can worsen quickly. Good luck!!

  I get the itchiness from time to time. Cold water feels amazing. It always goes away within a week and I've had it probably no more than 4 times through out the pregnancy.

  I suffered through itching down there for 3 weeks, thinking it wasn't an infection or anything because I didn't have any change in discharge (I've also never had a yeast infection).  When I finally had an appt and they did the test, I did in fact have a yeast infection and it took 5 pills to make it go away.  I can't believe I suffered with the itching for so long and that's all it took to clear it up!  So definitely tell your dr and get checked.

  It may be a yeast infection- if you're not familiar with the symptoms you should get checked out by the doctor so they can start you on an anti-fungal thing right away.

   However, if itchiness is the ONLY symptom you have, and it's not even itchy all the time (like it comes and goes), I asked my OB about that last month and she said it could be the result of all that extra blood flow down there causing intermittent itchiness. Still, since you've never had a yeast infection before, I'd say to go get it checked to be on the safe side.

  I have found that I am a bit itchy because I haven't been keeping up on my grooming as it is very difficult to do. Also because I am so warm all the time, it is really moist down there. I am going for a wax tomorrow and have been using some baby powder for the excess moisture.
