Hi! I just had an incident with Bacterial Vaginosis. I'm still angry about it! At 22 weeks I told the Nurse Practitioner (I usually saw her - and the doctor occasionally) that I was having weird discharge - she acted she didn't even want to look! All she said is discharge is normal. Two months later I decided to switch doctors. My new doctor gave me a visual exam and told me that I had Bacterial Vaginosis and he gave me some antibiotics.

I just finished my antibiotics yesterday and I'm 30 weeks pregnant.

Yesterday I also wrote my old doctor an email letting him know what happened and telling him that I'm really upset that I walked around with Bacterial Vaginosis for two months - until I switched doctors!

I never knew what Bacterial Vaginosis was until I was diagnosed with it recently. To know that it can cause miscarriage makes me really mad!

I'm glad that everything happened in the second trimester!

Whatever - I'm still pregnant and I just had another ultrasound and they said my baby looks healthy!

Sorry - about your previous problems - Its taken me a long time to get pregnant about 6 years.

God Bless You!

I didn't find anything on the net about BV leading to miscarriage... the only thing I saw was that it could cause premature delivery or low birth weight babies...  However, I did see that Pelvid Inflammatory Disease affects the uterus and fallopian tubes...  so maybe there's a link there.
