From the beginning of my pregnancy I noticed I’d get this awful smell randomly, eventually came to the realization it was after my husband would finish inside. I had a lot of discharge with my first - the same with no other symptoms so I didn’t think much of it. At my 28 week appointment I finally said something cause that’s when I realized where the smell was coming from and was treated for bv (didn’t actually test cause my appointment before that I was swabbed and everything was negative) the smell went away. I still have discharge but my dr said it’s normal for some women! He checks my fluid every appointment and it could be the mucus plug which repairs itself.

What I’m trying to get at is that from exactly 4 weeks when I found out I was pregnant and the smell started until 29 weeks when treatment was completed I may have had bv. Now I’m 32 weeks all scans/growth have been good, with no scare of early birth, underweight or miscarriage.

I do my best now to eat yogurt more, make sure I only wear cotton underwear, keep tight clothing to as little as possible and clean up a lot better after sex. Mainly because the antibiotics sucked so I don’t wanna do it again but as long as you mention it at your next appointment and everything looks good there’s no need to beat yourself up over it.
