I am currently 5 months and off/on the entire 5 months I've had either a yeast infection or uti. Anyone have any similar issues or suggestions. This is my second baby fyi
Find your local natural grocery store and get a probiotic ASAP!! Get a multi-strain product that has to be refrigerated. Also pick up some cranberry tablets. Take both every day and drink drink drink water!!
I swear it will change your life (or at least make your woman parts a whole lot happier!).
I had this happen in my first pregnancy that ended in m/c (not a result of the YI, don't worry)!! Some people are just more prone to them than others. I am one of those people. Anyway, I have been using this cream prescribed to me by my OB that contains an antifungal component and havent had one this whole pregnancy. Its called clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream. I think it also contains a mild steroid but it is safe during pregnancy and is only applied on outer skin. If your YI are recurrent, ask your doc about it. The only thing is its preventative so if you have one currently it won't do much for you. Good luck!!!

I like ReNew Life brand. I use their FloraBaby powder for my kiddos and take one of the adult multistrain capsules when I am having yeast/uti/digestive issues.

No he just said the standard probiotic at the store. What I soon realized was the different types.
