BV

[kate_52]

I was recently treated for chlamydia about a month ago, I'm 14 weeks pregnant & my doctor is now treating me for a bacterial infection in my vagina (BV I guessing). I've googled it a million times & ive read it can cause miscarriages in the second trimester & that my partner does not have to be treated. I'm so.nervous about the whole situation this is my first pregnancy.. can anyone help?!

If you have no symptoms then how is it found? Once I read about someone having something I start to wonder.

Your partner does not need to be treated an it can only affect your baby if you don't treat it..

Miley I didn't have any symptoms either which is why I'm so confused how I can have something but no symptoms!, & queenkay I've talked to a few girls I work woth who have children & they ha all said its very common & sometimes can occur a few times during your pregnancy.

Hi ladies i was going to post something like this. Is this common in pregnant woman?

[kate_52]

A vaginal discharge & a foul odor can be present, sometimes it can be neither

I know it was the worst idea but I'm new to all of this

[chanelle2]

It can only cause problems if left untreated,as long as youve been prescribed something an take it properly itll clear up and you should be fine.

Wether or not it can affect my baby, & does my partner need to be treated I've read that they do & I have read that the dont. & what causes BV?

I just got treated for BV and my baby and I are okay... What is your concern? If you take the meds like prescribed it will go away and you will be fine
