How to treat thrush in pregnancy, according to doctors

A woman experiencing thrush in pregnancy stands in a bathroom looking in the mirror.

Thrush in pregnancy is very common - especially during the third trimester - and as many as a fifth of people who are pregnant can find themselves dealing with a yeast infection at some stage.

If you think you might have developed thrush during your pregnancy, it’s usually nothing to worry about and won't pose a serious risk to either you or your unborn child. However, it’s still important to make an appointment to see your doctor or antenatal team to get a correct diagnosis and find out if further tests are needed. They will also be able to provide individualised advice on safe treatment options.
