    Understanding the meaning
    38 weeks pregnant. My doctor told me I have candida albicans. What kind of infection is that. The only thing I have is milky discharge. It does not really smell and it does not hurt when I go to the toilet. I was a small bit itchy. What does it mean. I started on velosef tablets. Are they safe to take in pregnancy. Will they harm the baby. Please help

    Candida is a yeast infection. Here's a link that should tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and then some) about it:

    Candida albicans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    If you need more information than that, try googling:

    Let me google that for you

    As Perito said, it is a yeast infection which is fairly common in pregnancy. The velosef is considered safe during pregnancy especially at this late of a stage.
