I have had yeast and bv infections my whole pregnancy. I just finished up another batch of metronidazole this week. Antibiotics can cause yeast infections in some women as well so have your doc prescribe flucanazole (spell check) to take after the metronidazole.  It will most likely be a 7 day treatment.  Mine got so bad this third trimester my va jay jay was swollen for a week.  I am due with twins on Monday by c section.

I took metrondazole tabs for 7 days for the BV. My dischrage was milky but itchy. And my vaginal area was red. For the yeast i have cotromazole cream. Discharge is like cottage cheese. Both bv and yeast is uncomfortable. My sugar is normal so i guess its all due to hormones. I dont use undeewear at home and keep my privy dry as possible.

I had a really nasty discharge. Turned out to be yeast infection. Cured with 7 days of monistat.  No antibiotics necessary.  That was my 3rd month of pregnancy. I haven't been sexually active at all since my second month because I thought I had an std. I am now 35 weeks preggo and ready to deliver no further complications.
