Ya I would say that BV is fairly common and flagyl is a medicaiton all physicians are familiar with, so I think youre good:)

Ive been looking it up and I to me when you google something all it does is makes stuff worse - makes me worry 1000000 times more!!!  makes you think the worst and feel the worst.  Just thought I would see if anyone else has taken it and if the baby was ok.  Well to me BV is very common to and not rare so I think its all ok and they should know what they are talking about.

Flagyl is probably fine, but I caution you to think the doctor wont give you something you shouldnt have. I used to think that too until my OB tried to give me a medication for a rare condition that was clearly not intended to be taken while pregnant, It actually states online not to get pregnant for a few months after taking this medication. Always do your own research =)

I make sure to do this with my kids medications as well, and twice my daughter has been give a dose that was too high and once she was given a medication with egg products when she is clearly allergic to eggs.

Just food for thought....Always be your own advocate
