who *IS* John Galt?!? asked:


i was treated for b. vaginosis. now i’m being treated for yeast infection, 7-day treatment, miconazole nitrate 2% to be taken as a cream suppository…
has anyone had any experience with this? the doctor said it iss safe, so i don’t think its really hurting the baby…but it is kind of hurting me?
after i put it in i go to sleep, when i wake up to go pee in the middle of the night it hurts to go. its possible that it is not because of the cream that it hurts…maybe i have some sort of UTI? but it doesn’t hurt any other time, and every time after the first pee gets a little less painful.

plus, they’ve sent my pee out to the lab multiple times and it hasn’t come back that i have any kind of UTI or kidney infection, as far as i know. should i just tough it out, or is the pain not normal?

I’m 33 weeks preg. today and I know infections can cause premature labor this late which is why I need help fast! I was diagnosed w/ a yeast infection and prescribed a 3-day suppository. I’ve heard 3 day treatments don’t work during preg. and that what I was prescribed can cause birth defects (although so rarely it’s not considered a risk…not good enough for me). The clinic where I go has proven incompetant many times (I have no other choice, so I really can’t do anything but do most of my own research, which is why I ask a lot of questions here), and I don’t trust them with this. Are vinegar or baking soda baths safe/effective during pregnancy? Does anyone else know of a non-drug treatment which is safe while pregnant? For those who will attack me, I am not going against doctors’ orders and being neglegent…I’m honestly trying to do what’s best for my baby’s health, which is not always what is advised by these docs. Thanks to everyone who offers advice.
