Hi,
Yes its alright to use vaginal pessary in pregnancy, it does not harm the baby.
Local applications of anti fungal like pessary and cream can be used in pregnancy.
Oral preparations are contraindicated in pregnancy and should not be used.
have you checked for diabetes? women with diabetes usually present with repeated thrush.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
