I was wondering if anyone knows if it is okay to use Monistat for a yeast infection during your last trimester? I called my Dr, but it ended up being after hours, so I couldn't get a hold of anyone and had to leave a message. Now, I have to wait until Monday, but I would really like to know now, because let's face it ladies. Yeast infections are the epitome of grossness and I'd like some relief fast.
Thanks girls!

read the box, it should say if its safe to use or not, and if you don't have the box yet, google, monistat.com

Jessie, eat plain yogurt or drink buttermilk. Don't you insert the Moinstat? I don't know if I would do that as far along as you are right now. But that's just me. I have only ever had one yeast infection and that was when I had to take some kind of sulfer antibiotic for a tooth infection. It was horrible. I don't ever want to go through that again.

Ask a pharmacist--they know so much about over-the-counter products, too.

Thanks ladies. I am calling my dr again in the morning.
Kris--You are right about it being an insert, and since they are telling me I've only a few weeks left, I didn't think it was going to be something they would suggest I do.
I didn't think to google Monistat..lol. computer thinking is just not my thing. Great idea! :D

You might ask Mary (MaryLD) from Leander TX.... she's a midwife and just posted the other day about using peroxide, tea tree oil, and boric acid for yeast infections.

Dear Jessie,
Monistat is considered safe in pregnancy. You can even use the generic drug store brand version. You may want to use the 7 day cure as yeast tends to get entrenched in pregnancy due to body chemestry changes, whereby it can become chronic. There was a post running last week or maybe 10 days ago about " female concerns" where many of us wrote about yeast infections, including for pregnancy. Good luck!

| If you ever have a question for your doctor, even if you don't consider it an emergency, but something you don't want to wait a few days to take care of, leave a message with the answering service and have your doctor call you back. |

I'd ask the pharmisist, they're usually better informed about most medications and they're more accessible.
