You all are so knowledgeable about helping moms with persistent yeast, I was hoping any of you physician or midwife types could help me out. I am jumping out of my skin with persistent vaginal yeast. I am 32 weeks gestation expecting our third child and I have had vaginal yeast throughout this whole pregnancy. I am concerned about ending up with thrush once the baby is born. My midwives say take acidophilus and watch your diet. (I had borderline gestational diabetes with number 2.) I am keeping track of my blood sugars and they range from 70's to 100's before and after meals. I get relief for about two weeks with an OTC treatment which I have been varying, hoping to get rid of whatever is resistant. I was cautioned against diflucan due to possible teratogenic effects. My hubby is a physician and can write me a script. Can somebody recommend a treatment that will cure this once and for all? How much and how long? I hope you don't tell me to paint my rear purple, but I am pretty desperate anyway! Thanks! Kathy G.
