Hello ladies.. so a bit TMI, but I am pretty sure that I have thrush/ yeast infection. It has been a very very long time since I have experienced one, so I am waiting to be tested at my midwife appointment just to be sure.
I haven't found anything that indicates that it is dangerous during pregnancy for mother or baby. BUT I am worried about the birth because I know it can be passed to the baby during vaginal delivery.
Also, I have read that it can cause problems with breastfeeding if baby has mouth thrush and that it can go to the nipples as well.
Mainly I DON'T want my baby to have to deal with thrush on top of entering the world and getting breastfeeding started.
I HATE the idea of taking any medication while pregnant, but of course I will do if it is necessary.
I am hoping that someone will have some alternative methods to suggest that are SAFE during pregnancy.
Please keep in mind, I am on a tiny island in Spain that does not always carry products that are easily found in the rest of Europe.
Thanks for any advice ladies.. sorry for the TMI and longish post..
