Hi Christine, I have gone through your question. Cervical and vaginal infection in pregnancy can lead to preterm labour ( Labour and delivery before37 weeks of gestation), and can lead to chrioamnionitis( infection of the fetal membranes) once the Labour starts. Both of these are high risk situations for both mother and baby.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist so that you can be effectively treated for this infection with antibiotics which are safe in pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
