Hello ma'am, congratulations :)
Have you had these same symptoms in the past? If so, and there are no other 'new' symptoms, yes, clotrimazole cream (Canesten and other brands) can be used safely during pregnancy.
I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Yes I have had this in the past, especially during my other pregnancies,
but I wasn't sure which treatment was safe during pregnancy. Thank you!
