Bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy

narney405 · October 2014

Hi all!

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and have had Bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection throughout my entire pregnancy thus far and have never had it before. I have been through multiple treatments including 3 rounds of oral and 2 intravaginal cream antibiotics so far, but nothing is seeming to make it go away. I can deal with the minimal discomfort that it's causing me, but I just worry about the risk of preterm labor or miscarriage due to the BV during pregnancy. I was wondering if anyone had experience going to full term with a constant bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy and if their babies were effected at all by the infection? Also, do you have any tips to get rid of relentless infections that are safe to use in pregnancy?

Thank you so much in advance for your responses!

I had it too. My doctor said not to worry. The pre-term labor threat is no longer something to be concerned about (according to her).

I had it my entire pregnancy with DD. It was treated off and on and dr said its
Just more prevalent in some women during pregnancy. I was 5 days past my due date with DD and had to be induced, so no preterm labor for me. Hope it gets better soon!

I have had it three times this pregnancy.... I used the metrogel all three times and if I got it again I was demanding to switch to the oral meds...

I was told to not have sex ( I have been on pelvic rest anyways), wear cotton underwear or no underwear at night, use a non scented wash down there like dove unscented. My doctor has never been overly concerned about it but I having read about it online.

I was tested again at 24 weeks and was finally clear of it!
