safe or unsafe?

So I'm 9 weeks and 4 days and found out I have bv. Midwife recommended flagyl. I know I should trust my midwife but are there any mommas out there who've experienced this before. I'm scared cuz I looked up online and saw that I should avoid this during the first trimester. There's some effects and blaaaaah. Anyone????

Flagyl is usually the recommended course of treatment. Be careful when looking things up online because not all sources are reliable.
