Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
You do not need to be afraid to take the fluconazole. It is safe in late pregnancy and the two tablets you were given are at the recommended dose to treat a yeast infection.
Vaginal suppositories and creams are not recommended in late pregnancy, which is probably why you were prescribed the pills.
So I hope I was able to answer your question and that my advice was reassuring. I hope you feel better soon and best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,
Dr. Brown
