I am 10 weeks pregnant and think that I have yest infection but don't go to the docs until Wednesday will this hurt the baby?? :confused:

Yeast infections are very common during pregnancy. I had 2 during this pregnancy. You should be fine. I would not want to wait until Wednesday to deal with it. I would call your doctor on Monday and ask if he can ether call in a prescription or give you the OK to take over the counter treatment. I was aloud to take over the counter meds for both my yeast infections; however, you should always ask your Dr. first.

Yeah, I would just call your doctor... in a lot of cases if you tell them the symptoms over the phone you don't need an appt. Yeast infections are common, and most women know when they have one.
See if an appt is necessary... if so and they still can't get you in until Wednesday ask if you can use something OTC until then.

If you are prone to yeast infections - start eating yogurt. Not only is it good for you and the baby - but the active ingredient (the live culture) can ward off and get rid of a yeast infection.
This trick works too, when you are just starting an antibotic - start eating more yogurt - most of the time you don't get a yeast infection.
Hope this helps :)
