Yeast infection?? Or something else?
Ok, this might be TMI, but I'm going to see if anyone might have an idea.
I've never had a yeast infection. I had a slight case of thrush when DS was a baby and nursing. I've battled yeast infections with DD1 since she was a newborn (first yeast infection was when she was around 7-10 days old) and she seems to have yeast infections quite often - although she hasn't had one for probably almost a year now. I've personally never had one. I don't know what this is that I seem to have now. Down there, I feel like it's really itchy. Like a burning itchy, almost. I can't tell if it's red or swollen, although it doesn't feel right. I haven't really had any abnormal discharge or anything like that. Nothing that doesn't seem to come with a regular pregnancy, anyways. No blood, no nothing. I get the sensation like I have some sort of discharge - it's hard to explain, but I would compare it almost to a period and the light bleeding part, but when I check, there's nothing. It's just the sensation and feels like that. I get sore down below all the time. It's almost like a dull throbbing. Peeing doesn't really hurt, really, and when I wipe, it actually gives a slight relief (sorry if that sounds strange!) Sex is out of the question completely. I shower daily (or sometimes it ends up being the morning the next day if I don't get the time and chance to have a shower in the afternoon or evening each day) and (obviously) change my underwear. I find there's also a slight odor - it almost smells a little like urine, a little. I'm sore to touch as well. Is this a yeast infection? Or is it something else? I'm seriously thinking of getting it checked out (obviously this is the only way I will know for sure) so is this something that I should call my OB about? I have no regular family doctor, and other than my OB, I'm really not that comfortable going in to the regular walk-in clinic and seeing whatever random doctor that's in at the time. I would be far more comfortable with my OB that I am very familiar with, but I don't know if this is something for my gyno/OB. I had my first prenatal app't middle of July - I can't remember for sure off hand, but my next appointment is Aug 11, I believe. My first/last app't, my OB did a pap, although I haven't heard of any results (so I assume nothing abnormal or anything to be concerned about with any possible results) Is this something that happens every now and then during pregnancy? I think I'm just a few days short of 14 weeks right now, and I've never had this before. I've had bladder/UTI before (2 times, both after each DD was born) and this definitely doesn't feel the same. |
