Infection during pregnancy

[Joshs_Angels]

Hi girls :)
Just a quick question...well maybe a few.
I was just wondering if any of you have/had BV (bacterial vaginosis) during any of your pregnancies? I had it and was treated when I was around 16 or 17 weeks in this pregnancy (i'm 21 weeks now). All symptoms went away right after I started taking the medicine and have been gone, but I'm thinking now I might notice a few slight signs again. My doctor said BV can attribute to premature labor/birth after 20 weeks if left untreated, so being beyond that point I'm a little worried. But at the same time I dont want to keep taking antibiotics for it because I worry that they have negative or unknown affects on my baby. He said they're safe (well moreso in the 2nd trimester) but still I worry. So just wondering if any of you have dealt with it also. I've been battling it on and off for a year now. But since I've had it and was treated in this pregnancy, it seems I've been fighting it off a little better. I dunno, just worried. Like a mom should be, lol.
And also...I've read and been told that you shouldnt worry about patterns of fetal movements until about 28 weeks because up until then, they're too erratic. But I do, because some days my baby is active all throughout most of the day, and others, like yesterday and so far today, I feel nothing, or very few movements at all. It just worries me because I think something is wrong if I'm not feeling her the same way as other days. Help me calm my fears! :)

i had an infection that went untreated because i didnt know about it, went to the hospital and all they just said that it was a UTI and gave me meds for that a few days later not even 2 days later i started to leak fluids went back to the hospital and they said the same damn the UTI gave me the same meds 3 days later a started to get a fever, chills, and very bad pains went to another hospital they checked me said i had an infection cheked the baby he was fine at the moment theycame back like an hour later and checked me and give me the most horrible news that i would ever want to hear, there was no fluid around my lil man and that his heart had just stopped that killed me. the infection i had went into my uterus causing my water to break. infections and being preganant  is nothing to play with so as soon as you feel like something is wrong forget what everyone else say get to the hospital i dont care if you go two three time in one week if you have to do it just to make sure that your lil one is in great shape
enjoy your pregnancy be healthy best wishes from my family to your ohhh yeah i was 17+ weeks 2 days from being 18 weeks he was my lil man i have my girl he was my boy

I'm sorry that i don't have an answer for your first question other than just talk to your doctor and be very open about your concerns.  I'm sure they will understand and be willing to help in any way they can.  Good luck with this!!!
As far as movement goes, i am 21w 5 d and i also sometimes worry when i don't feel my little one moving around.  She seems to go in spurts and will move a lot one day and then just stay pretty still on others.  If you really get worried though you could always get an appt with your OB and they could take a peek for you.  I would worry too much right now though i just think they have their lazy days sometimes!!
