A member asked:

What are the risks of having bacterial vaginosis in the 3rd trimester i'm 33 weeks, will it kill my baby?

No: Bacterial vaginosis will not kill your baby. It's an easy bacteria to test for, so if you're concerned, make an apt with your doctor to get tested. It will ease your mind.
