You should go to the doctor and get a prescription. I had one too at about the same time and its the safest option. You’ll just have to pay for the appointment and meds out of pocket. Ask your doc if they will give you a discount since your self pay. And the Meds should be generic and not too pricey.

Go to yur doctor& they’ll give yu just two pills to take. Its fast& works within a week.
To get rid of yeast infection you need to wash yourself very well from the inside untill it doesn’t seem slimy in there and you don’t see any more white spots of the yeast infection, when you start itching again do the same thing untill it stops, after each time you wash your self put on clean underwear so that you don’t spread more of the yeast infection. Try it an it should help!
Eat some yogurt, or you can even put some yogurt “down there”. Something about it helps with the infection.
EDIT- LOL, so now yogurt is dangerous to eat while pregnant? Ok, NO ITS NOT! Next thing u know, us pregnant women are just going to be able to eat a few pieces of grass and a cinnamon stick, by the way some people act!
Well, fear not. Your baby won’t be affected by the yeast infection, and sadly they are common for pregnant women. You can pay for the appointment out of pocket and the same with the meds. You can also ask the pharmacist what would be cheaper: get the prescription or getting it OTC. You can get a pregnancy safe yeast infection cream OTC and some places they will be cheaper. That’s what my pharmacist did for me. It would also save on a Dr appointment. Just make sure the person you ask knows about what is pregnancy safe!
Most women would say eat yogurt but as
a pregnant women it can be dangerous there is a chemical in some yogurts that can be harmful to the fetus so look it up or ask your doctor. Your doctor will prescribe you an oral medication instead of giving you something to use vaginally. You’ll get use to them being pregnant. I had so many your body doesn’t know what to do. Good Luck

Unpasteurized Milk: Unpasteurized milk may contain bacteria called listeria, which can cause miscarriage and found in some yogurts. Listeria has the ability to cross the placenta and may infect the baby leading to infection or blood poisoning, which can be life-threatening. Make sure that any milk you drink is pasteurized.
My dr gave me a lust of medicine that’s safe to take when you are pregnant and you can take either monistat 7 or monistat 3. I just had a yeast infection and used a generic version of monistat 3 and everything was fine. If you are sure it’s a yeast infection there’s no reason to see a dr for it or to get a prescription.
Here are some natural remedies you can try that are safe for you:
Yogurt
An all natural and plain probiotic yogurt is by far the best home remedy for thrush. This safe and effective way to treat thrush can be used by men, women, children, and babies to treat thrush of the mouth, the skin, and the genitals. It should be consumed regularly to help replenish the good bacteria that your digestive system needs to keep yeast under control. And, it can be applied to the skin to soothe and heal thrush so that you can get relief from the uncomfortable symptoms. Holding in a mouthful of the yogurt is all you need to do to treat thrush of the mouth.
Grapefruit Essence and Stevia Extract
By mixing 10 drops of grapefruit essence with 10 drops of Stevia extract, you have a home remedy for thrush that is safe enough to apply to even a baby’s skin. Repeat this 3 or 4 times each and every day until the thrush disappears for best results.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil contains natural antifungal properties that can be used to treat thrush. It may prove too strong for some, so diluting it with some water before applying it to the affected area may be necessary to avoid stinging or discomfort.
Acidophilus
Adding acidophilus powder or capsules to your daily diet is not only a good home remedy for thrush but it can also help you prevent further overgrowths of the fungus that causes thrush. As well, applying the powder right to the affected area can also help speed up your recovery.
Dietary Changes
Cutting down on sugars and carbohydrates has been proven to be of great benefit for those suffering from thrush. Most importantly, avoid foods that contain high levels of yeast, such as breads, cakes, beer, and barely. Cutting out sugar is also important since sugar feeds the yeast and can cause thrush to worsen.
