BV during pregnancy?

Hello,
bit of a weird one and actually a bit TMI / disgusting lol ….
the last couple of times that I’ve eaten onions it’s resulted in my discharge smelling like onions …. I’m going to cut them out of my diet entirely just to make sure it’s defo that causing the problem. However , I googled it stupidly and it said that it could be a sign of an infection such as BV in pregnancy.
I assumed I’d have symptoms if I had BV and my friend whose had it said it’s usually a fishy odour not onions lol…
anyway, I did call the midwives office but my midwife is on leave, they asked me to call triage as no one to help but triage said not something they’d help with call GP. Called GP they said put econsult in but haven’t been able to today as all the slots went as soon as I tried this morning!!
the only reason I’m concerned is because I’m nearly 39 weeks pregnant… baby is moving as usual etc so not really concerned about that but just worried about the effects on baby at birth if I did have BV and didn’t know! Especially as I assume I’d need to do a swab and then that’ll take days to come back!…..
can anyone comment if they’ve experienced anything similar? Granted not the odour as that is really strange lol but more the BV side of things ….

I might not be too much help but I'm thinking I have BV at the min too, couldn't get through to the GP so rang the local sexual health clinic and they do tests to check for this. They prioritised me for a triage call due to pregnancy and got booked to come in this week to get checked, so if you have a sexual health clinic nearby I'd give them a call tomorrow to see if they can help. I think they are quicker with results than GP too, fingers crossed you can get sorted quickly x
