taking flagy in first trimester ?

[calimom071215]

Im 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my 3rd baby, this is the first time ive been diagnosed with BV, the hospital prescribed me flagyl for the infection, I asked the pharmacies if it was safe the pharmacists told me theres no guarantee that its not harmfull since it passes thru the placenta,  when i seen my widwive she told me it wasnt recommend in the 1st trimester, but didnt instuct me to stop taking it but after reading about it i decided to stop it after 3 days of use, has and mother on here used this drug in the first trimester? what were you outcomes?

I used it in my 2nd trimester as i was told the same. Ive had BV twice and there are things you can do in the meantime until u get a diff medication, to help relieve the itching and prevent future BV. Dont wash down there with scented soaps and only wash the outside(sry tmi but only rinse inside with water). Ur PH is off so u dont want to wash away anymore good bacteria. Sleep without underwear and only wear cotton/non thong when u do. Avoid all sugared drinks. Eat yogurt with probiotics. Take care and hope u can get that metrogel like above poster said^
