Pls let me know or tell me your story... I hope theyre all successful ones.. :/
Ive had bv ever since my first check up. like i was 2 months. and now im 4 months. tried flagyl for two days but i stopped cuz i was allergic to it and clindesse as well (vaginal cream) one dose. then i was checked up last july 30th and they called me to say ... I still am positive for BV infection :(( I hope my babys doing fine. I am gonna take clindamycin hcl twice a day for a week. even asked the pharmacist if its really safe. and yeah they all told me its safe to take. but thats not the only thing that matters! I wanna get rid of this stupid BV and have a healthy baby!!! :(

Very healthy baby boy! Due in 23 days!!! The gel won't get to the baby and it's safe even if it did

Like others have said, it's not a huge deal. It's common in pregnancy. I found out I had it at my first appt, didn't even realize it honestly. I also had a uti. Left untreated it's dangerous, simply because any bacterial infection left can get worse, but treating it with antibiotics is very common and safe. Don't stress too much.

I had it with my son I also had a kidney infection at the same time so I was dehydrated as well and it sent me into labor at 25 weeks I made it to 35 weeks on modified bed rest. I was given macrobid to get rid of both

how about your baby? ugh im so frustrated right now. Im 18 weeks and started taking another antibiotics! i thought the vaginal cream was enough but now i have to take this clindamycin twice a day for a week as well! I JUST WISH NO MORE INFECTION OR BV OR WHATEVER and most specially A HEALTHY BABY PLS!

I'm fine now! It usually keeps it away for a while! I had a flair up in my 1st trimester  but the doctor I had wouldn't give me anything and said I just needed to let it run it's course! And I was still like 9weeks and I made it to 35 before I had another flair up but outside of pregnancy flair ups are usually maybe 2 times a year

I had it too i had too take bulky fat nasty pills 2 a day for aweek. It cleared up. I hate bv i always get it.

Bv is a crappy thing and its even crappier in pregnancy there's a gel you can use vaginaly its called metronidazole vaginal gel and its amazing!!!! Works every time and its safe for baby call your doctor to get a prescription

When I got BV I was at work and I started bleeding at my 12 weeks so of course I freaked out and went down to the ER they prescribed me a gel to use twice a day for 10 days I believe it went away after that (well my Dr said) the fell I use I think was called meso something sorry I can't remember really

[MomOf1ExpectingAnother]

BV , does dont affect your baby . It's actually a discharge that's coming out of your body . Calm down , it's not anything to be scared about .

[Valerie_Jean]

I've had BV before I was pregnant. They just made me take 5 pills, one every day. They make your stomach upset, so it's better if you take them with food!! Idk if they'll treat you the same now that you're pregnant but I got treated in the matter of 5 days and it went away.
