I have had 7 pregnancies and yeast infections were a problem each time I’d finished anti-biotics too so I sympathise!
I know that I was prescribed stuff for it but can’t remember if it was Diflucan or not.
It’s important to get the right kind of treatment, especially this early on, so in the morning phone your doctors and ask the receptionist to ask the doctor’s advise and call you back. If it’s ok to continue, it won’t have mattered that you waited a short while, but , on the other hand, if you need the prescription changing then it’s also not too long to wait without taking anything in the meantime either.
Good luck!

Its not recommended. It is a pregnancy category C which just means it hasn’t been studied in pregnancy. You can get more info at fda.gov just search for pregnancy category ratings. If you took it more than 48 hours ago with no rash or breathing trouble, at this point you should be fine.
