Hey you will need to go to the gp. The doctor prescribed me a strong version of canesten (not available to buy over the counter ) and an internal gel . If the itchiness is real bad I would highly suggest ice packs. You will feel in heaven xx

@Anna Rita you can get it online and over the counter x

I'm pretty sure if i remember right you can use canesten, but it's advised to use the cream not the pessary. But I'm pretty sure you can just pop to a pharmacist and speak to the consultant and they'll be able to suggest the best thing (might even do it as a prescription so you get it free xx

You can use canasten cream and pessaries (basically anything that's clotrimazole) but not oral tablets. Your GP or maternity unit will prescribe it if you don't want to pay for it xx

Thank you so much everyone xx

no the canesten that they have prescribed me it’s so much stronger than the one over the counter.

@Anna Rita there is only 1% or 2% cream. Both availble OTC.

The pessary or cream is usually prescribed. Although you can buy OTC, they are not licensed in pregnancy unless prescribed. So best to speak to GP.

yes that’s now I remember. It wasn’t about the strength but snot that the pharmacist didn’t want to give it to me as I was pregnant. Therefore once the doctor prescribed it to me, i collected them with no issue.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
