Answer

There are many yeast medications sold over the counter in the US. Since you call it thrush, I assume you may live in England, where the brand names may be different. I would get a 3 day course (They come in one, 3, 6 or 7 day courses). I would get miconazole, butoconazole or teconazol in a cream. You insert the cream vaginally gently and can rub some on the outside if it's itching. As far as we know, they are safe during pregnancy. Of course it's always best to see a practitioner to be sure of the diagnosis if possible. Best wishes.
