Probiotics

Ive had bv my wholee pregnancy. It seems to never go away. & my doc prescribes me antibiotics everytime, but i just dont feel safe taking them during my pregnancy. I bought some GNC probiotics to take instead of the antibiotics but the warning label says to advice health care provider before taking them. But my apt isnt until weds. Has anyone taken probiotics during pregnancy? & did it cause any harm to the baby?

But I used hydrogen peroxide, it calm the discharge and swelling for a while but it'll start back if you don't constantly do it. And I didn't wanna cause I didn't know abt that either !, but the thing w. Probioctics is that you have to kill the bacteria first then start trying to help the new good bacteria grow. Hope this helps a little !, ♦

The beggining of my preg I had Bv, ughhh I hate it, so I was taking probioctics also but I stopped because I didn't know the effects it could have on the baby. I rather just deal with it than to put my baby at risk. Sooooo last week I seen my doc and I asked her could I take them so that my bv wouldn't come back again & she said don't do it. She didnt give me any reason why. But she's very rude anyway so I'm listening to her for now.

My dr. Prescribed me probiotics and fish oil to ease my horrible daily migraines.  Didn't help much. But since my dr. Prescribed it I'm sure it wont hurt the baby. Drs. Opinions are always good! Buti. Doubt youll harm your little one(:
