Monistat or something similar is safe to take during pregnancy and if the
baby is born vaginally while you have a
yeast infection, he or she could end up with thrush in his mouth and that would be much trickier to get rid of.
Unfortunately, yeast infections are just more likely to happen during pregnancy. I never had one in my life until I got pregnant and now I've had two! Both were diagnosed by my midwife and both times they told me to take the over the counter remedy.
