Advocate for yourself!

I had an appointment with my OB and she insisted my discharge seemed normal. I had her check anyhow. I tested positive for BV which can cause premature labor! My cervix has been shortening over the past few scans and this could be why. So so glad I advocated for myself! If you feel like something is wrong or needs to be checked, demand your doctor give you what you need! We must speak up for ourselves.

Gonna chime in- Advocate for yourself especially during labor and delivery! Don’t worry what they think, you are in control and make them listen

Did it smell horrible? When I've had it the smell has been so horrendous. But I recently got diagnosed with a yeast infection and I couldn't even tell I had one! So weird!

I have BV as well and am super worried about that as well.

Somehow it feels like so many doctors just want to get to the next patient. They don't seem to REALLY listen to you or care much.
