Vagina infection

HI mummy, I received a call from KKH on being positive for Gardnerella Vaginalis (after having brown discharge and done a vaginal swab and was also prescribed with Utrogesta). When I went down to the clinic, The doctor answer was like very vague , he said this is common and has no impact to the baby and even after eating, it will not be 100% cured, I can still be positive for GV. If the brown discharge is bothering me , I can eat the pills. Then, what's the point of eating anti biotic? I am just afraid it will harm the baby.

I got it recently during my 1st tri. My gynae mentioned that it is quite common, however it has links to miscarriage, so she advise me to take the antibiotics to clear up the infection to prevent it from worsening. The gynaes will know what medication to provide that is safe for us during pregnancy so don’t have to worry too much :)

have you managed to clear the infection with 1 round of antibiotic? I'm afraid that it can't be cleared and have to take again...
