BV (bacterial vaginosis) again...

wtf?! why do i keep getting this nasty smurf. i had it 4 times during my first pregnancy, and this is my second time during this pregnancy. i've never had it when i wasn't pregnant. the only reason i even found out i have it is because i went to L&D due to watery discharge, there's no nasty smell or anything like that. is there any natural way to treat it besides taking metronidazole?

I had it the whole time I was pregnant too  
It sucked.

i really don't think there is :/ sorry i had it too with this last pregnancy and i had multiple yeast infections, it sucks i'm sorry.

Unfortunately no, I had it several times my last pregnancy, the last time I had it, it turned into chorio-amnioitis, which breaks your water and you must deliver because it can turn deadly. I hope that doesn't happen to you, but it is a possibility since you have recurring BV, I know how bad it sucks.

wow that is terrifying!  

Quoting buzz killington:" wow that is terrifying!  "

yes, very, I was only 27 weeks when my water broke with my last pregnancy. I had it with my first pregnancy and my water broke at 21 weeks.

omg. i'm so sorry to hear that  

Quoting buzz killington:" omg. i'm so sorry to hear that  "

Thank you so much, I truly hope that doesn't happen to you.
My 27 weeker is doing just fine though, she just turned 3, and is perfect in every way.
Chorio is extremely painful, after I delivered, when they were pressing down on my stomach, I hit one of the nurses, it was like an involuntary thing, I felt bad, but it hurt so bad, they ended up giving me morphine for the pain, thats how bad it was.

i'm glad to hear she is doing well!  

i hope that doesn't happen to me neither. i was actually going to postpone picking up my prescription until tomorrow but i'm definitely going to go get it today, after hearing your story. i don't want another traumatic birth experience, my first one was bad enough when my 9 month old was born with an unexpected heart defect that almost killed him.

thank you for sharing that. and again, i'm glad to hear your little one is doing well now.

my dr. recommended eating yogurt atleast once a day to help replace healthy "good" bacteria to help keep the balance after i had developed B.V. with my first pregnancy. i havnt gotten it with my other 2 pregnancies.

I had that, and I took a pill twice a day for 7 days and it hasn't come back.. I'm sorry that yall keep having it, it's not fun.
You might wanna ask about this pill... I dunno what it was called.

it's an antibiotic and it's called metronidazole.

I used to get those allll the time when I was pregnant.

Yogurt works wonders! Just make sure its real yogurt.

I now take acidophilus chew able supplements since i dont care for yogurt much anymore.

It can be such a pain in the ass!

I also noticed that I got them more with my one ex verses the other.
My doc said its possible that he had very acidic sperm. It made sense to me since when I was put on pelvic rest during my pregnancy I had no bv.

Ugh I have the Exact same problem and I really want to get rid of it as soon as possible! This is my 1st pregnancy and I'm worried that it will end up hurting the baby:/
