Waiting for a child is one of the most amazing things in life.
Unfortunately it does come with its problems. Even if you have never
had a yeast infection the hormonal changes during that period is often
more than enough to have a yeast infection pregnancy.
As I wrote earlier the hormonal changes during this period plays a
major role. These changes are so drastic that it can create an
imbalance in the woman's body therefore leading the yeast to produce
Candida Albicans bacteria.
You see Candida Albicans bacteria needs dark places which are moist
and humid to survive. So knowing that you can clearly see why the
vagina is one of the best places for a yeast infection to occur. Yeast
infections are also known to occur in the mouth, the armpit and
between the toes.
The major point that makes the yeast infections pregnancy a good state
of being for the Candida Albicans bacteria to develop is this: Under
normal condition the bacteria lives in the vagina in small group
numbers. But due to the hormonal changes during the pregnancy these
small numbers can grow exponentially overthrowing the good
bacteria....
