I'm 12 weeks and one of the first symptoms I noticed with my pregnancy was a stronger scent down there.. Not fishy like an infection, just stronger. After I found out I was was pregnant I wrote it off to super pregnancy sense of smell. Like 3 weeks ago however I starting to get a little irritated down there. Not a full blown infection with cottage cheesy type discharge or anything, I would just notice when I went to wipe that it felt a little raw and itchy. So I bought a tub of yogurt and mowed down 1-2 times per day and sure enough it went away.
I've just noticed last night though that's it's happening again! No alarming discharge or anything just itchy and irritated. I got my blood work back and my std tests came back negative across the board, including both types of hsv and the yogurt seemed to help so I'm pretty sure it's just yeast, but I didn't have these issues in my first pregnancy and I'm not prone to yeast infections at all so I'm just kinda wondering why it's all the sudden I'm having issues?
I have read that they're more common during pregnancy and it's kinda embarrassing so I don't really want to bring it up to my dr. I'm just going to buy an acidophilus supplement and try adding yogurt to daily diet (which sucks because I don't particularly like yogurt). I'm also going to switch out the blade on my lady parts trimmer in case for some reason that thing is causing it? If that doesn't work then I will talk to my dr about it.. Do you ladies think that's a good plan? Is there something more serious that could be causing it that I'm not aware of? Thanks
