What Causes Burning Sensation In The Vagina During Pregnancy?

My daughter is in her 3rd trimester and she just finished taking an antibiotic for a uti . Right now, she is having a burning sensation down in her vagina and she feels the baby pushing and she can not get confortable . She also feels the urg to urinate and she only is urinating only a little. This also started when she felt a gush but it was not like her water broke. She feels like she is having contractions.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
- The burning in vagina your daughter has seems to be due to disturbance in normal vaginal flora. This helps setting up of infection in vagina .
- Baby normally tends to desend down in pelvic cavity in 3rd trimaster.so the feeling of discomfort in late pregnancy is physiological.
This also causes urge for frequent urination. Mostly it's due to pressure of fetal head on urinary bladder obliterating urethral opening.This can be prevented by adopting a bending forward position( with hands on knees) while passing urine, thus avoiding head to press on bladder & complete emptying of bladder.
- She needs an internal check up by her treating obstetrician to exclude infection in urine or vagina/ Lactobacillus vaginal pessaries/ Vitamin D as per need.
* she should try to have a normal routine/ have walking exercise/light nourishing diet/ regular obstetric checkup/ positive thinking these days.
Thanks.
