Thrush

[madam bully]

I know this has probably been done before but the last few nights I have woken up scratching myself and am so sore soory TMI!

I have my first midwife appt next monday so will talk to her about it but what can I do to help with my 'sore bits' and does it hurt the baby in any way at all?

I have never ever had thrush before so I don't know what it's like but a friend of mine told me she has a bath to sooth it.

I just answered a post in T2 on this (hop over there and have a read) basically it's a yeast infection, you just need a tube of cream or an oral tablet and it shifts in a day or two. The cream is nice/cooling/soothing etc and the tablet works on the internatl bits. Drink plenty of water and cranberry juice and it should keep future bouts of it at bay!
