FLAGYL during pregnancy...???

Hi! I was recently diagnosed with BV, and was prescribed 500mg twice daily for 7 days. I was also diagnosed with Friable Cervical Ectropion; however, there’s no treatment for that. OB believes that as a result of both possibly exacerbating one another, it was causing bleeding/spotting. I don’t like to take any type of medication while pregnant so I’m kinda freaking out about taking the antibiotic. I was reassured that it is safe to take during pregnancy. Plus, untreated BV can cause serious problems for the baby, & I’m not willing to take any risks. I’ll be 24 weeks along this upcoming Monday. Anyone else being treated with Flagyl? Or, have been treated? Thank you!

    I think BV is fairly common in pregnancy and doctors typically treat it, because of risk for preterm labor.  I was diagnosed with it early on and took metrogel .  I was kinda freaked out about taking it too.  Some doctors wait until the second tri to treat it.

    I took Flagyl around 14 weeks when my doctor prescribed it for BV. I had no issues after taking it and it cleared the issue up as well!

    I hate to be that person, but could you please post your questions within other threads instead of always starting your own thread?

    For info on meds during pregnancy or while nursing, Infant Risk knows way more than most doctors or pharmacists. They have a website, phone number, and app (not free but a one-time low fee). 

    But all meds are risks vs benefits, and BV is a pregnancy risk. 

    But please, don't keep posting your every question as its own thread.
