Thanks ladies. I bought some yoghurt today & it does soothe things for a while at least. It sounds as if I need to be patient. Here's hoping it will go away in the next day or so.

Sally, try the Canestan that has the pill insertion. Talk to your pharmacist. Mine went in a day and a half. The cream helped for the external itch.

Thanks Tara, I think I'll try that instead. I can't believe how incredibly annoying it is. It keeps me awake at night

Yeah it's definately not nice. I was 33 weeks when I got it, and the pill one was safe for me, so I would imagine it is safe for you too.

A cold wet flannel down there at night helps as well - just make sure you have a bucket of water to keep making it cold.

Once it was in, I didn't feel it personally. But, I don't think I was very dry.

I used a wet cold flannel as well Emz. Helped get me through the night before I got Canasten.

Good luck.

Better late than never with my advice but I've had to use thrush treatments twice this pregnancy.

The first time I got given a suppository (3 day) and the second time I got given a cream (5 day). I've got to say the suppository was my preferred option - less messy - but the longer treatments seem to do better at kicking the thing in the butt.

Also got given some live acidophilus bacteria tabs which I kept in the fridge and took one every morning.

All this was on Midwife and Pharmacist approval.

And in terms of home remedies - another thing other than yoghurt that helps relieve the itching is to put a little bit of vinegar in lukewarm water and then soak a flannel in that. It cuts through the itching a bit better than just water.
