For anyone who has ever had thrush you will know how itchy and bloody annoying it is. I have only had it once, recently when I was pregnant with my second child and at first I was not really sure what it was or if I had it or not but a quick visit to the nurse confirmed it for me and she was able to prescribe Canesten Combi medicine for me.

Thrush is a yeast infection that both women and men can develop. It causes itchiness and uncomfort. It is really common in pregnant ladies. Being 30 weeks pregnant, and having developed this, I made an appointment at my doctors to be prescribed something, as I have a medical exemption certificate at the minute.
