Clindamycin Phosphate Vaginal Cream During Pregnancy

Ladies,
Another question!! :)
I just found out at my 7 week scan that I have an vaginal infection and my doctor gave me clindamycin phosphate cream. My nurse and doctor have both assured me it is safe to take during my first trimester. Did anyone else use this during their pregnancy?
Thank you!

You should be just fine! Unfortunately Yeast Infections and Bacterial Vaginosis is common in pregnancy. Its def safe to take, especially since the doc gave you the go ahead!

Yep, I used and it glad I did.  Better to treat the infections than to let it go, the infection can harm the baby.

Whew!! That makes me feel sooo much better! :) Thank you very much!
Everything I was reading said that BV can cause miscarriage or early labor, which obviously scared me...but then the thought of taking something during the 1st trimester that could cause miscarriage also terrified me! lol But I would rather treat the infection. :)
Thank you for responding! :)

So did you both use it during your first trimester??

I did use it during the first trimester but I didn't insert it.  I just applied to the outer area and used my finger to apply a little further in,  Sorry if TMI.

No, nothing is TMI for me anymore. lol
Well the infection is not just vaginal but cervical too, so that is why I have to insert it. :P lame! but I'm sure it will be fine. Anxious for my next ultrasound!

P.S. Do you happen to remember if it caused any pink cm or light spotting when you did it?
