Okay i'm 4 months pregnant, and when me and my fiancee make love I get extremely swollen, it burns like its on fire, and it itches. Even when we are not making love it still itches. I don't know if it has to do something with the pregnancy or if its a yeast infection. Before I got pregnant I got a little swollen and itched. But it never burned. So i'm not sure if this is a pregnancy affect or if its a yeast infection. Question

Talk to your doctor about it. It certainly might be an infection of some kind. Yeast infections are actually more common in pregnant women than in women who are not pregnant.

Call your doctor anytime that you suspect you even might have an infection while you are pregnant. Some infections are not that big a deal to adults, but some of them can be pretty serious to babies. Do not self diagnose and get otc meds. Actually see the doctor.
