BV - pregnancy

Hi everyone, just hoping for a bit of advice.

Im 26 weeks pregnant and I'm almost certain I've got bacterial vaginosis. I can pick up the canesten bv gel which says it's safe to use in pregnancy but just wanted to see if anyone else had used it and if everything was okay afterwards? Also, if it did actually work before I pick some up?!

I could ring the GP tomorrow but would rather try this first if I can rather than wasting time trying to get an appointment!

Thank you 😊

Hey @mumtobemay2023 I was diagnosed with BV after a doctor took a general swab for something else earlier in Jan. Was prescribed a seven day course of antibiotics to clear it up so maybe you need a docs appt for antibiotic prescription?

Sorry should have said I'm 24 weeks. It's very common in pregnancy apparently!
