BV?
I had bacterial vaginosis early in my pregnancy and had antibiotics to get rid of it. I’ve now had so so much white discharge that has a little bit of a stronger smell than usual, a little metallic if anything. From the smell alone I thought I was bleeding a little bit but it’s perfectly white no pink. I do have placenta previa and wondering what this is. Should I ring the doctor to get swabbed for BV again?

The antibiotics increase metallic taste this could be why the discharge also smells more metallic. That is just a guess but I know after the antibiotics you will get thrush. It’s a side effect of the antibiotic whether you take the tablets or the gel.
You can ask to do another swab 1. Just to confirm the BV has cleared but then also to check for thrush.
How long ago did you take the antibodies. How far along are you in pregnancy
Did your partner get treated for the bv as well? Cuz if he doesn’t he can give it right back to you

Son not invited to party
I meet another single mum on mat leave and we kept in contact, kids going to the same nursery etc.
It was her little ones 3rd birth day so
I wished him happy birthday on what’s app. I only knew as she put it as a status.
She then messaged back with all the parties he’s having…. So I clarified if my little one wasn’t invited (I kinda don’t know why she was telling me as I didn’t ask).
She said no he wasn’t. I said no worries.
I told her I was hurt as I thought we were closer and that our kids did play together etc…. And she didn’t acknowledge my hurt feels but was just more practical saying she just wanted a smaller party.
Things haven’t been the same since and I don’t bother to message her etc but to be honest I was finding her behaviour a little odd anyway.
It’s now my son’s birthday, would it be ok if I invite her son or are they not close so I don’t bother?
I’m getting nowhere with nursery and his close friend has recently left for another nursery so I’m a bit lost.

Urine samples at midwife appts
Are you all doing a urine sample at every appointment? I had my 25 week appt today and I wasn’t asked for one despite mentioning having issues with an achey bladder and trouble emptying it at times. I haven’t done one since my first appt at 9 weeks!
In my first pregnancy (same midwife team, same place etc) I did it religious EVERY time I saw anyone, even when I went in to triage for reduced movements for example. Just feels a bit weird especially as they put on my notes that it has been done.

Distract me/keep me company through contractions
I am having a rough night. Been contracting on and off for 2 hours. Just started timing them and having some water before I bug my midwife. I'm only 30 weeks and panicking a little. So what's everyone up to tonight? I'm watching early Grey's Anatomy -- love me some Jeffrey Dean Morgan!
