Hello dear user of HCM!
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us!

I'm sorry for the situation you are in, I understand you very well.
You have to know that pregnancy is a physiological condition where many things in your body change. Between these changes genital ways function changes as well, PH is not the same as before, hormonal levels are not too.

These changes may lead to possible infections which in pregnancy are very often. Almost all women are affected by infections during pregnancy, that's why periodic tests and analysis are done continuously.

I suggest you to do a vaginal secretions test, and a complete urine test too.
If you have any infection there, contact your gynecologist to treat it with proper antibiotics which do not harm the fetus. Keep a good hygiene of your genital tract as much as possible to prevent infections.

I hope you will be fine soon.
I wish you a good pregnancy!
DR ERIOL.
