please help me!

So I'm thinking I have cytolytic vaginosis. I know to douch baking soda is the solution for it. But how long does it take so it can completely cure? I'm 33 weeks I know your suppose to douch 3 times a week but I have became soo frustrated that I do it daily.  Does that affect my baby?

Hello, the only advice I can pass on is what I have received personal from 3 separate professionals. I have a Doula, Midwife and a fertility doctor.  None of which work together and all 3 have stressed not to ever douche when pregnant. Two of the three actually stressed that immediately from day 1 as their top 10 things to stay away from. So it's a great idea to see your doctor as soon *** possible :)

I'm probably a bit ignorant on this sorry but I thought you weren't supposed to do that during pregnancy because it gets rid of the good bacteria as well as the bad making it worse. What did your dr recommend?
