    Yeast infection
    Ok I am pregnant and I keep getting yeast infections. How can I help prevent myself from getting them? They are driving me nuts and the diflucan pill don't work so I have to use the monistat 7 every time to make it go away

    Wear cotton panties and try to stay as dry as possible.

    Have you been on any medication lately? Some can make you more likely to have a yeast infection.

    Some women find eating yogurt each day, or at least a few times a week helps to keep it at bay. Some will even apply it vaginally when having a yeast infection.

    Have you tried any of the other Monistats? You may find the one day or three day work better for you.

    Some women are just more prone to yeast infections and they are pretty common in pregnancy unfortunately.

    Here's a site with several suggestions for treating them, but of course it would always be wise to check with your doctor before trying any of them. Again, yogurt seems to work for some women to prevent it in the first place.

    Thank you. Im trying whatever the dr will let me as long as its safe. I was on an antibiotic for strep throat but other than that no and I know that can cause it too but I have had so many with this pregnancy and I had never had one until I got pregnant this time
