Strong vaginal odor, first time mom !

hey since like week 8 I have had a strong vaginal odor and usually if that happens I just douche with Apple cider vinegar and take a couple probiotics. But since I'm pregnant can I do that? Have any of U ladies experienced this? I know it isn't appealing to my boyfriend and I am currently 13 weeks. Help !!

I thought I had vaginal odor turns out it was really because I have big thighs and I have sweat more since I have been pregnant so my thighs were just rubbing together alot and making more sweat and making me stink. But no more douche while your pregnant.

I had that issue at 16 week area...went to my doctor and she said it's BV just bacteria and have me a antibiotic for 10 days and it cleared right up. Only bad part was the medicine is known for causing a yeast infection after words so I was treated for that as well.
