Vaginal infection

Hay, 26 weeks na pala! Good thing naayos na ng suppository, pero talagang kailangan mo ng check-up ulit with your OB para sure kung fully cleared na kasi during pregnancy mas prone tayo sa infections dahil sa hormonal changes, hindi lang yan about hygiene talaga, eh. A few of us had the same issue at ang OB namin mostly asked about our partners' hygiene din, kung nag-change ng laundry detergent, or kung stressed kami (stress affects yeast/bacterial balance din daw), so tanungin mo rin yung doc about those factors plus kung what you should eat or avoid, some say probiotics help pero better if OB-approved muna for your specific situation. Ang main thing lang talaga: regular check-ups lang during pregnancy para ma-catch agad if bumalik, at laging drying thoroughly after bathing dahil moisture + warm environment ang love ng infections hihi.

Glad the suppository worked, mama! Yung yellowish discharge with foul smell usually bacterial or yeast, at honestly kahit malinis ka, pregnancy hormones really mess with our vaginal flora, a few of us experienced it rin during pregnancy kaya don't blame yourself. Keep wearing breathable cotton underwear, avoid douching, and limit sugary foods since bacteria and yeast love sugar; also make sure your partner is clean din. Since you're 26 weeks, best to ask your OB next visit kung may specific prevention tips sila or if you need maintenance, kasi sometimes it can come back during pregnancy pa lang.
