A member asked:

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and think i have bacterial vaginosis, will this harm my unborn baby? cause stillbirth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please see your OB: Or call your OB today as your OB can put you on vaginal or oral antibiotics to treat that, it will not cause still birth u need cultures and txment and make sure it is just BV bacteria and not other bact. And i assume u do not have beta strep- i assume u were already tested for b- strep as u should ahve been at 34-36 wks, if u are beta strep + then u get IV antibiotics in labor so baby does get bs.
