A member asked:
Is fecal bacteria really unhealthy compared to other bacteria when you are pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Everyone is colonized with different types of bacteria. Some live in your mouth, some your colon, your skin, and for women - the vagina. As long as everything stays where it's supposed to, you shouldn't have any problems.
