Well, you are pregnant and you have BV so
the cream is really needed.
Your doctor would not prescribe something
that would be harmful to your baby. And,
trust me, you don't want your hoo-ha
smelling like tuna fish your entire
pregnancy, so you'll want to use the
cream.
ps. Please don't post all in caps. Some
people find it rude.

like ingi said
dont pots in all caps ok?
i had a bacterial infection when i was 10
weeks
i was presecribed medication for it as
well (not cream though)
my OB told me that because if the bacteria
she found when the baby is born im going
to have to be givin meds during labor so
that when she passes through the birth
canal she doesnt get any of the bacteria

I had the same thing whenever I was 14
weeks pregnant. I took the prescribed
medicine and my baby is perfect. I hope
that it clears up soon.
