Yep I Have It. Went To The Doctor Today And Talked About It. It Isn't Anything Serious. They Said Usually Even If You Don't Get All Of The AntiBiotics That You Will Be Okay. Just Go To The Hospital Once Your Water Breaks!

Is there any oral antibiotics we can take to get rid of the bacteria? Online it said cephalexin is safe for pregnant women

I do too. Just make sure when your give birth 2 bags of antibiotics goes into your system before giving birth. Other than that it's nothing bad

Dont be so alarmed by it. They will give you some antibiotics to treat it before you deliver, like while your in labor.
