No: Yeast infections are especially common during pregnancy because hormone changes can disrupt the pH balance of the vagina. Excess moisture can also exasperate an imbalance, making your vulvovaginal area a more welcoming environment for fungal growth. No, a yeast infection won't hurt or affect your developing baby nor cause an intrauterine infection. Talk to your doc about a vaginal preparation.
