So as it says in the title I lost my pregnancy in February at 14 weeks due to my water breaking early and the baby having less than a 1% chance of survival we were told our only option was to have a medical termination. I had tests and swabs done and when I went back for a 6 week check they told me the swabs had come back for Bv and that was the likely cause for my waters breaking and was given antibiotics I was shocked as I had no symptoms of any kind and was surprised to hear the doctor tell me that most women don't have symptoms. Fast forward last week and Me getting a bfp 2 days before my period was due and I've just done a self checker BV test at home this afternoon and it's come straight back positive for BV. I'll be heading to the doctors for antibiotics first thing tomorrow morning but I am going out of my mind here! I can't have history repeat itself I don't think I could go through all that again☹️! Has anyone been in the same boat with a positive outcome I just want to take my baby home this time!
Firstly I am incredibly sorry for your loss Congratulations on your new pregnancy! I had BV with my very 1st pregnancy, but not until after 30 weeks so I can't really speak to that. I think it's great that you're able to do a home test and if in your shoes I think I'd test at regular intervals given the lack of symptoms. You must be beside yourself with fear. I hope your care provider will help relieve that a great deal while leading your care. Praying you have a very healthy pregnancy
Thank you me and my partner had already decided to test once or twice a month just for peace of mind I just had hoped it wouldn't come back this pregnancy! So now I'm beside myself I know it's only one night until I can get to the doctors but I'm just just full of fear ☹️ x
I know that anxiety all too well. For me it was helpful to say 'today I am pregnant' and not really look ahead but relish each day. Easier said than done when waiting on medicine/testing that could potentially save your everything. It's not fair and I'm sorry. I had a friend who had recurrent strep B infections and it was a matter of finding the right set of antibiotic treatments, hope it's down to something equally simple for you and that you don't suffer with any further complications
