Question about reoccurring Thrush

[Nanaki]

Hi ladies!

Don't know if any of you have this sort of problem?

I am getting fed up with reoccur thrush now with about 2 weeks left to have a baby and wanted to have that clear up before she gets here.

I have googled but found that a clove of garlic to be put in there to kill the bacteria???? Not too sure about that. Need advice on this one!

Many thanks!

I wouldn't rely on the garlic thing. Good ol' monistat 3-day is safe to use during pregnancy and effective.

I have repccuring thrush throughout the pregnancy
My doctor presecribed me external and internal creams which i do use very often.
I know there is also pessary, but when not pregnant my reaction to it was bleeding, so no way i am taking it. Oral tablets are not advisible, so its better to see your doctor and they prescribe what is safte

Probiotics & anti fungal creams/treatment. Have you taken antibiotics lately without using probiotics? Recurring means you aren't getting enough good bacteria back into your system and have somehow wiped out either both good + bad (antibiotics without taking probiotics) or just knocked out the good ones (maybe too much carb & sugar which Spurs candida vs not enough yoghurt, beans, + fermented foods like saurkraut). Baby can pick up thrush from you if you still have it when you give birth & bf-ing. Try Monistat and pick up some probiotics from the store (take with meals) to ensure it doesn't come back. Also helps with heartburn, digestion, & prevents you from getting sick (they are only good for you)!

Dont knock the garlic until youve tried it it is actually amazing and much better and more effective than creams.

I inserted garlic cloves up until a week before dd last year (reoccuring can be connected to being GBS positive so its even better if you give garlic a go)

I use to peel then nick it with my nails. Once inserted it can sting least you know its working. If its in correctly you will get a pretty instant taste of garlic in your mouth for this reason women prefer doing it over night. I personally preferred doing it through the day.

I have used garlic and it was worthless for me, which is why I bypass it entirely now and just use monistat. I'm normally an all-natural kind of lady -- and make a lot of my own medicines and creams since I live in a very richly biodiverse environment with loads of useful plants -- but nothing does the trick (for me) for yeast like monistat does. And those infections are so uncomfortable that I just don't have the patience to wait around, haha.
