I'm about 26 weeks pregnant and i have bv, i was told by a doctor to do vinigar washes twice a day. is it safe for my pregnancy and how do i do it ?

Ask you OB for Rx: Ask your OB MD for a prescription local vaginal agent that can treat bacterial vaginitis. Douching while pregnant can cause issues with the fetus if the solution is "forced" into the vagina.
