Q&A: Is this the start of a yeast infection?

Question by cherryrosebud13: Is this the start of a yeast infection?
I used to get yeast infections ALL THE TIME! But I haven’t had one in a while and I kind of forget what it’s like. Well I found out on the 25th of July that I am pregnant. Last night I woke up at about 4 or so in the morning and went to the bathroom, I looked in my panties and there is a big circle [probably as big as a nickel] that was brown to yellow in color and it’s there when I wipe. It had no bad odor [ i know it doesn’t always] and I have no other symptoms {i know you don’t have to} Is this a yeast infection starting?? I am really nervous because I don’t have an appointment with my doctor til the 24th of this month. Should I try to go to my normal doctor for this? Will a yeast infection harm my fetus if I can’t get to the doctor for a couple days or a week? Can anyone give me some reassurance?? Thank you!
I’m not taking any kind of medication because some can harm the baby, I am not diagnosing myself with anything and trying to treat it with over the counter medicine. I was also thinking maybe my body is just cleansing itself out or something. I am definitly going to give the doctor a call.
Honestly, how can a dark yellow be old blood. It’s not old blood, because it’s not a red brown, it’s a dark yellow brown. I am just going to go to the hospital.

Brown would indicate dried blood. It is common to have a tiny bit of spotting in the first trimester. It doesn’t sound like a yeast infection. I would call your doctor and tell him/her about the spotting, but minimal spotting like that is probably nothing. I’ve been through a healthy pregnancy with some spotting and had spotting in my 2nd pregnancy turn out to be a molar pregnancy. I wouldn’t worry, just let your doctor know.
