Rashes down there - pregnancy

Question

Hi mummies. I am currently on my 2nd trimester, today I experienced rashes down there. I only noticed it when i shower use warm water and it stings a bit..Any mummies experienced the same and what do you guys use? Pls share :) I have read coconut oil might help but unsure which brand. I have been having discharge since the very beginning of pregnancy and wear pantyliner everyday. Unsure if it causes the rash?? #pleasehelp #advicepls

It is hormonal changes whereby your body discharge will not be same before,during and after pregnancy. If it is stinging and itchy do let your doctor know to do vaginal sweep to check on infectious otherwise prescribe a cream suitable for pregnancy mum. Besides that, hydrate more, use silk undies and loose ones, avoid using pantyliner for now and tight undies or material like cotton. Your vagina needs to take a breather

sounds like u might be having UTI, better to seek doctors opinion. if it is really UTI u will need antibiotics to clear it. any infection is not good for pregnancy. do not use coconut oil as it will make it worse.if it is not UTI, could be u are not changing the pantyliner frequently enough, or u became sensitive to it, as preg will make us more sensitive and allergic to things that we could tolerate pre-preg.
