Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Dana, I have the same problem. I am 28 weeks now and I have been having this vaginal burning for a long time. I had yeast, VB and UTI too but other times when there is no infection at all I still have the burning. My doc told me that it must be a reaction to to the hormone change. It is very unconfortable. Did you hear anything new about you?

I have the same thing. The strange thing about it is that when my husband and I have been intimate, he gets a rash. This didn't happen during my first pregnancy. The one thing that seems to help is to shower a couple of times a day. I bought one of those hose attachments for the shower so I can wash thoroughly.

I too am 6 months pregnant and have been to the doctor many times because of the burning or rawness feeling. The doctor checked and said I did not have any infections, that it was just my body reacting to the changing hormones. He did suggest I use vitamin E oil or aloe vera oil (the purest form is from the plant) with no alcohol in it. I tried these and they do seem to soothe the burning somewhat! Hope this helps:-)

I have had the same thing since about 3 months -- now almost 5 months pregnant -- and boy is it really frustrating. I, too, have had yeast and BV a couple of times, but the burning and pain still continues even when the infections are not there. The one thing that I have found helps is to clean the area a couple of times a day. My OB actually suggested using a damp washcloth to wipe the area clean a couple of times a day. It doesn't eliminate the problem, but it does ease the pain somewhat.

Its funny these things that they never tell you about in the books. I have had a burning / sore feeling since about 4 weeks pregnant and thought it must be thrush but swabs negative. Thought they had made a mistake but maybe the hormones too !

I also have pretty much had the same thing and I am now 36 weeks pregnant. I had a UTI once, and all the other times, they said no infection. It's horrible though, I can scratch and the pain is so bad that I feel like it will bleed sometimes! I clean the area every time I use the bathroom and sleep without any panties or bottoms on to let air get to the area. One other lovely thing about being pregnant!

I am suffering also, I am 26 weeks. There is no moisture round my vagina, I have a burning sensation and nothing seems to soothe it not even my aloe gel :( It gets embarrassing when you are out and all you want to do is itch!!! Last night I got ice cubes wrapped in a towel and placed this between my legs. It helped reduced the swelling a bit.

Hi, I have been having the same thing during my pregnancy as I mentioned in my post on July 18. I had my beautiful baby girl one week ago and I can tell you that the burning is gone!! so don't worry, just wait a little bit. It's so worth! good luck.

hi, i'm only 5 weeks, and i have itching that feels like BV, when i called the nurse at the ob she told me to go ahead and use monistat externally, i did, but i read somewhere else on webmd that you should not treat it vaginally when you're pregnant. now i'm worried. did anyone elses doctor tell them that monistat 7 was okay to use during pregnancy? please help

i too have this burning and found monistat useless i use pramox hc lotion and it is a great relief

I had the same problem for 6 weeks on and off in my 6th-7th month. My doctor ran tests, they were all negative, and she thought it was urine irritation. I didn't feel that was it. It seemed like it was the position of the baby because I sometimes got relief changing what side I laid on. I remembered that with my first pregnancy (I didn't have the burning with my first pregnancy) I drank Organic Rasberry Leaf tea by Traditional Medicinals daily. It supports the femaly system and strenghtens the uterus. So I started drinking that again along with a lot of Cranberry Emergen-C. It soon went away and has not come back. It is worth a try. The tea is and Emergen-C are available at health food stores and some standard grocery stores.
