A member asked:

Hi,i am 38 weeks pregnant and diagnosed with yeast infection,can it effect the baby (normal delivery if i go into labour before my medication ends?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: If the baby is delivered naturally the yeast could put the newborn at risk. I think your OB/GYN should address this question. Good luck
