A member asked:
Ok let me try again... 8 weeks 2 days pregnant almost finished with course of flagyl will probiotics help bv from coming back and is it safe. thanks!

Yes: Probiotics are safe in pregnancy. Taking antibiotics can interfer with the healthy bacteria in your intestines and cause you to be more prone to intestinal issues. Probiotics are meant to restore normal intestinal bacterial. It is possible that taking probiotics will decrease the chance of bv, but i know of no studies asking that question. Since BV comes from intestines it's reasonable to try.
