Metronidazole: Although metronidazole has been on the market for almost 40 years, its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding remains controversial. Some more recent evidence has suggested that tmetronidazole is not associated with adverse effects during either pregnancy or breastfeeding

Yes: more of a risk for your pregnancy/child not to take and not to treat the infection. Best of luck and congratulations on your pregnancy. Hope it goes well for you. Dr R
