Okay so about a week ago my fiance went to the doctor and they prescribed him medication for an bacterial infection. Stupidly while he was taking the antibiotics we had sex. Yeah stupid i know. I diddnt think i would get the infection cause im on a medication to keep me from getting a bacterial infection. Im 7 mos pregnant and haft to take the pills once a day. For thr past few days now my labia minora has been really red and its very sore to wipe when i pee. Its sore to sit down. I took a shower and then my right labia minora swelled up...After a few hours the swelling went away and i was just sore. I told my fiance and i had him look to see if anything cad was there. ( i cant see past my baby bump). he said nothing bad was there just that i had think white discharge with no odor. So i thought mabey it was nothing sence there was no smell. We then last night had sex just for a short time. And when we were done we noticed the head of his penis had little red dots on it. Now me and my fiance and very worried. I think i might have a yeast infection. Im red and sore with white discharge. He just has red spots on his penis head. The pain around the interance to my vagina hurts more and more every hour. I have a doc appt in 3 days but i dont want to wait that long if it is just a yeast I. Please help me. Im worried. and freaking out. Thank you(: PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS. EVERYTHING IS HELPFUL AND APPRECIATED!

Sweetie, I am confused about the bacterial infection with which your fiance was diagnosed. Where was the infection? And why are you taking medication during your 7th month of pregnancy to prevent bacterial infections? Something is lacking in your description.
It's too late (and totally non-productive) to talk about you having intercourse while your fiance was sick. You need to deal with what is happening now and it sounds extremely likely that you have a yeast infection. The redness, swelling, terrible soreness and the discharge that you noticed previously all indicate this. Women are more prone to candida bacterial overgrowth in the vagina during pregnancy.
I know that you are awfully uncomfortable and you are correct in not waiting 3 days for your dr. appointment. Call first thing Monday morning and go in to see your obstetrician. He/she can prescribe some cream and/or vaginal suppositories for the infection, as well as a soothing ointment for the burning and itching. You need to advise the dr. that you and your fiance had intercourse because he will need to take medication also in order to keep from ping-ponging it back to you.
Most likely the dr. will prescribe Diflucan for him.
What you must worry about the most is what effect this could have on your baby. Although a yeast infection in itself is not usually considered serious, in the 7th month of pregnancy it could be.
If it is bothering you awfully now (and it probably is), go to the drugstore and buy an over-the-counter cream for the labia to soothe the burning and itching. I would not advise you, however, to try to self-diagnose yourself and use the Monistat suppositories at this time. Wait and let your doctor do that tomorrow, OK? Also, take a washcloth and wring it out in cold water and apply it to the labia. It will also help somewhat.
Congratulations on your baby, dear, and I hope that you are feeling better soon! Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.Posted 2 years ago # -

In related to this we should be aware how to protect our health from different diseases that could get by sex. If you are active in sex you should be aware how STD can affect you. STD can only avoid if you abstain from sex complete. However, if not, you and your partner can still be free to STD by having an STD Test which is preferred than using condoms.

Thinking about the possibility of having a sexually transmitted disease can be an embarrassing and uncomfortable thing to think and talk about. With that said though, your first priority should always be to your own well-being and the safety of your health. STDs can be dangerous when left undiagnosed or untreated, so if you think you may be suffering from one, it is important to get yourself tested as quickly as possible. With temptation and infidelity being at all time highs; it is never a good idea to “assume” when it comes to your health.

You should request for an STD test when you go see your doctor. You can even call up the office and have the appointment moved to an earlier date if they have an opening. You really should think about these things twice as much because you are pregnant. You are not only endangering yourself but your baby as well.
