Recurring BV - Clindamycin Antibiotics

Question

Just wondering if anyone’s had recurring BV throughout their pregnancy and what was the course of action taken to finally stop it? My doctor first prescribed me with Flagystatin pessary when he detected it about a month ago but the BV came back and now I’ve been put on another round of oral antibiotics called Clindamycin. I’m honestly not keen to go through another round of antibiotics, as I’m worried about the long-term effects it’ll have on the baby. I’ve also never had issues with BV pre-pregnancy so I’m not sure why it keeps recurring during pregnancy. ):  #advicepls #firstbaby

I had it throughout my pregnancy. Only when baby was out then it went away. But came back for 2 months when I had my period 6months pp. after that stopped alr. Gynae just prescribed pessary. But it was no use, couldn’t stop the itch from recurring. I also didn’t had it before pregnancy. Is just one of the symptoms of pregnancy.
