Recurring yeast infection during pregnancy

Any other mummies experience this? I keep having recurring yeast infection. Saw my gynae and she mentioned it’s normal to be more prone during pregnancy. But omg the discharge, discomfort, swelling, itching etc is so bad 😭

I also had this problem throughout my pregnancy. I just used pessaries and antifungal cream from gynae when the itch gets unbearable. It would clear for a few days after applying those, but kept coming back. I followed others’ advice like avoiding sex and drinking lots of yogurt, but it didn’t work for me. I still had the infection even up till the day of my elective c section! After birth it’s gone completely and never comes back until now (almost 15 months pp). Take care and hang in there, mummy!
