cracked tounge wait till you give birth that wont be the only thing thats cracked and split

[Octavius]

If you mean a cracked �tongue�, may it be Sjogren's syndrome?

You may get some joy posting this under family and then pregnancy.

Might not be anything to do with family or pregnancy. So body section is good

[smudge]

P'raps your doc would be the best person to ask, although it could be thrush.....

[Cockney_si]

Did you read the question 4getmenot....? I must have read it differently to you.

[4getmenot]

yer and then she said if not pregnancy related what could it be. I'm sure she will ask in there too if she wants to as she has been there before

[4getmenot]

I think thrush also. And alot of pregnant women get thrush

[redcrx]

Id say thrush. If you cant get to see your GP then ask your pharmacist for advice.

[4getmenot]

oh its ok girlygirl cockneys took the words right out of your mouth and done it for you

[girlygirl2]

omg!

Remember that you shouln't take oral thrush remedies when pregnant.

Hi girly, how's pregnancy otherwise? Hope it's going well. Can be thrush yes, and a cracked tongue can also signify a deficiency in something vitaminy for example, so it's worth seeing your doc, who, if this is the case, could suggest appropriate supplements. x

[ojread2]

Yes you can take thrush treatments when pregnant - oral ones definitely. They taste nasty but you can take it

You could have slept with your mouth wide open and dried your tongue to the point of cracking? Do you use mouthwash as it could even be a simple over use of that?

You could also be deficient in Vit B12 (amongst other Vit b's) but the only way to find out for sure what it is, is to see your GP. Don't start taking vitamin supplements without checking first with your GP and/or pharmacist

[girlygirl2]

Thanks to everyone who offered great advice. I think it maybe coz I have forgotten to take my multi vitamins for the last week.
Leelapops, pregnancy is going well, morning sickness is a pain but nothing I cant cope with! lol

It says on there

Drugs taken by mouth

Thrush can also be treated with capsules that you swallow. These are available either as a single dose (fluconazole) or as two capsules to be taken in the same day (itraconazole). Many women prefer pills to creams or pessaries, but they are more likely to cause side effects and should not be used if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking certain medication.

That's vaginal thrush which is treated with a different treatment than oral thrush - which I personally do not think is what girlygirl has got. Treatments for oral thrush is the same preparation as for a baby
