Does BV (bacterial vaginosis) cause pre -term labour and miscarriage??

[AlwaysBelieve19]

Hey ladies I think I might have Bec I'm 22 weeks and my discharge smells very strong not fishy but a strong smell so I'm guessing it's bv I'm scared as I've heard it causes complications and I've had a early miscarriage before this pregnancy and I'm sooo scared right now

Would I be able to get something at the pharmacy or would I need to see GP?

I think it's quite usual to have a bit more strong smelling discharge during pregnancy... BV discharge usually has a distinctive fishy smell and is very watery.
There is something very effective and completely safe during pregnancy that you can buy off the shelf in Superdrug (and probably boots) - it's called Balance Activ lactic acid gel.
If you're really worried then perhaps getting tested through the GP is worthwhile

You should call the gp/ midwife and get tested as soon as possible. BV can be treated effectively only with antibiotics which requires prescription.
