Thrush......

[emilia]

I don't know if any of you have had thrush since becoming pregnant? I read on the internet that it's very common in 2nd and 3rd pregnancies and also more so in the third trimester.
I have been battling with it for nearly a week now and have finally discovered a cure. Diluted Tea Tree Oil (oil and water dilution) and just to douche with. Instant relief!!!!

Ohh thanks for that

Havnt had it this time, but had it around 32 weeks with my 3rd daughter and was on holiday at the time and spent most of the time with yougart douced about !! which was also instant relief

So far so good this time...

i didnt think u were allowed to douche during pregnancy?
must admit its all new to me do think its very common over here! i just put tea tree in my bath and read for an hour if im uncomfy. x

I'm not entirely sure what doucing entailes, but I just pop a few drops of oil on cotton wool, add a few drops of water and wipe. After having such a hard time with the itch, one wipe has cleared things up completely. Will add few drops to bath just to keep things at bay.
Much happier knowing I'm not applying all sorts of chemicals,etc.
