I’ve found out that i have bacterial vaginosis and am five weeks pregnant?

I am five week pregnant, and my OBGYN appointment isn’t until March 10. I went (early) to a doctor that practices a broad spectrum of everything (physicals, nose bleeds, etc…) just to do a broad check up.

I was told that I have BV. She didn’t seem incredibly worried about it, but she’s not a specialist in this field. I went online, as read that it DOUBLES the chances of miscarriage in the first and second trimester.

Has anyone had this before? I also read that treating it in this stage won’t affect the outcome. I don’t really have any symptons of this, as I didn’t even know to ask about it. Will that fact help my baby’s chances?

Should I be freaked by the internet hype or is this not a big deal?

    i don’t know about it double the chances. but i know that pregnant women often get vaginal/yeast/bladder/kidney infections when they are pregnant. make sure to take meds that are safe for the baby. congratulations

    Don’t let the internet freak you out, infections are very common in pregnant women. I had a small infection around weeks 20-22. I didn’t even feel any symtoms.

    Try not to stress :-)

    Don’t research the internet – it will only stress you out!

    I am not pregnant, but I have had BV before. I had antibiotics to clear it up and have never had it again.

    Speak with your obstetrician as you are obviously quite stressed about it, so he/she will be able to put you at ease and recommend treatment if necessary.

    Bacterial Vaginosis is quite common in pregnacies. Some women even have it and dont realize it. Remember that LESS than half of what you read on the internet is going to be true.
