How common is yeast infection in pregnancy?

Yeast infection is one of the most common vaginal infection during pregnancy. It usually occurs when the normal levels of acid and yeast in the vaginal are altered and become out of balance. Therefore, hormonal changes during the pregnancy could cause this condition. Fortunately, yeast infection is unlikely to have any negative effect on your pregnancy. However, if you deliver your baby when you have an infection, it may be passed on to your baby (as a condition call “thrush”; your baby may then develop white patches in the mouth. This could be treated with a mild antifungal medication for baby). Some symptoms of yeast infection include: - Discharge that is white and “lumpy” (like cottage cheese) - Redness and/or itching of the lips of the vagina - Burning sensation during urination To treat, best to contact your doctor for advice. Just to ensure that your condition is truly yeast infection and not other bacteria infections. Lastly, here are some suggestions to prevent yeast infection: - wear cotton undergarments - maintain good hygiene - dry your genital area thoroughly after showering before dressing - cut down on the intake of sugar in your diet (sugar promotes the growth of yeast)

I had UTI during my first pregnancy. My gynae prescribed antibiotics for me to clear the infection. During the UTI, I took unsweetend cranberry juice (very sour though) and also drink plenty of water. You can get unsweetend cranberry juice from GNC or major cold storage/fairprice. To prevent recurring UTI, it is also encouraged that you drink cranberry juice occasionally http://www.m.webmd.com/women/news/20100823/cranberry-juice-fights-urinary-tract-infection-quickly Apparently quite a number of my friends also had UTI during pregnancy, so it is quite common.

Vaginal yeast infection is also known as thrush - it's super common and is caused by an overgrowth of candida albican yeast, which occurs naturally in the vagina. You can either use a tablet to cure it or a cream. Speak to your doctor for more info

It's fairly common - ask your gynea for some medication. I was prescribed Canesten - which is a one day drug which you need to insert into your vagina through an applicator (similar to tampon).

Yeast infection is annoying as it is. I can only imagine how it is when pregnant. It's pretty common but nothing too serious. Here's a list of home remedies that can be useful:

I was told it was pretty common. I had light spotting when I was 14weeks pregnant, and doc told me it's just a common infection and nothing will affect the baby
