Yeast infections can be very uncomfortable (to say the least!) but rarely cause any serious problems. However, it is important to have the infection treated so you don't pass it along to your baby during delivery in the form of thrush (yeast infection of the mouth). Check with your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
