Can sex cause yeast/uti infection?

So every time I have sex with my bf I always get thick discharge and smelly vaginal odor. And I know everyone’s first thought would be cheating, and I would also agree but I’ve always had this problem before I met him, I got an STI yeaaars back, and ever since then my balance gets thrown off easily. Before I met my bf it wasn’t often that I’d randomly get them because I wasn’t sexually active but when I got with my bf it’s more often specifically after sex. But he never wears a condom and always finishes in me. Does this happen with anyone else?

Its definitely the ph balance is off

It can also be overgrowth of candida

not before but I urinate and shower after, sooometimes it helps, but I’ll still get the odor and discharge

Yes definitely esp if he’s cumming inside. Vag Ph stays at 3.8-4.5, semen is minimum 7.1. So semen F*ks up our vag PH considerately. Use condoms or get him to come elsewhere. My man doesn’t cum inside and I haven’t had vag problems since I was a young adult and that was a long time ago lol.
Note; peeing after sex does not get rid of all the cum inside

I’m glad I’m not the only one I actually had him tested and it turns out he was high on his ph or something his dr told him he needs to change his diet so I’m helping him with that since he doesn’t cook but now it’s all of me doing more work just so I don’t smell fishy idk I feel like this is unfair

yes I have and I will be prescribed something for the time being but honestly I feel like I learned more from these comments than the doctors I’ve seen because they never went into detail like that just “you have this, so here’s this” and then I’m left clueless on what I even need next time it does happen.

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Going back to work!

Already thinking about this! Told my boss I was pregnant this week at 10 weeks, he was so happy for me. He’s recently became a first time Dad and was showing me pictures of his baby. I told him my plans about going back after 6 months and he looked at me like I was mad, am I!? I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine giving it up, I manage a team and am petrified my position won’t be there if I had a year off. My husband gets 6 months full pay so the plan would be for him to have the last 6 months off and I also made it clear to my boss that I would like to go part time. That way we can hopefully parent together 4/7 days rather than just the weekend! I am such an overthinking! 🤣 but this is what I’m struggling with the most, I’ve worked full time since I was 17 (12 years ago) and the max time I’ve had off in one go is 2 weeks when I got married. I’m sooo excited to be a Mum and we decided now was the right time, which it 100% is! But I feel so on edge about not working! I’m sure once I’m on maternity leave I won’t even think about work! Has anyone else felt the same?

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
