Why do I get (BV) during pregnancy?

I used to use alot of feminine deodorants....that's how I found out

Excellent answer above me...

Just want to add two more possibilities

The old "front to back" wiping becomes difficult when pregnant so make sure you are wiping correctly.

Also, the pressure from your uterus is constricting your bladder and possibly irritating your urethra.

Drink plenty of water, and reduce your acidic foods intake and that may help.

How you can avoid getting BV:
Because no one knows what causes this bacterial imbalance, there's nothing definitive you can do to protect yourself from bacterial vaginosis. However, there are a few ways you can reduce your risk of getting BV:

鈥? Follow safe-sex practices if either you or your partner has sex with other people. It's not clear what role sex plays in triggering BV, but it's rare in women who aren't sexually active and is most common in women with multiple sex partners.

鈥? If you smoke, here's another reason to quit: Smoking cigarettes increases your risk for BV.

鈥? Don't douche or use feminine hygiene sprays or scented soaps on your genitals. These products may upset the delicate balance of bacteria in your vagina. (You shouldn't douche during pregnancy anyway. In extremely rare cases, douching may force air to pass beneath the membranes of the amniotic sac and enter your circulation, causing an air embolism that can be life-threatening.)
