What kind of yeast infection medicines should pregnant women use?

I know pregnant women need to ask a doctor about medicines for a yeast infection, but is there even a problem for pregnant women to use something like monastat 7? Does a doctor have to be consluted first. I know it is recommended to do so, but I want to know if there was an over the counter medicine availble without a prescription.

1. You can safely use Monostat while you are pregnant. Follow the directions. You should also let your doctor know you have the yeast infection and what you used to treat it.
2. ANY OVER THE COUNTER YEAST TREATMENT IS FINE AND SAFE DURING PREGNANCY. DURING PREGNANCY YOU CAN EXPECT TO BE A LOT MORE WET DOWN THERE SO TRY T STAY DRY AND CLEAN TO PREVENT REOCCUURING INFECTIONS.
