Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, this infection won't affect your baby. But it should be treated immediately otherwise it will create postpartum infection. It is not necessary that it will transmit sexually, but it will occur de Nova. Unhygienic condition can be responsible for it. So please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important as taking the treatment. In pregnancy Chat Doctor. Metronidazole and clindamycin is the treatment of choice. But please take it under your doctors' guidance as you are pregnant. Please avoid sexual intercourse during the period.
