Here is some information I found: How does having BV affect my pregnancy? Having BV when you're pregnant may raise your risk for preterm labor and birth. Some studies have also linked the infection to a higher risk of miscarriage, preterm premature rupture of the amniotic membranes (PPROM), and uterine infection after delivery. That said, many women with BV have perfectly normal pregnancies. Experts don't yet know why only some women with BV end up delivering prematurely. Some researchers think that BV may be just a sign of other infections or problems that lead to preterm birth. They do know that women who are diagnosed with BV early in pregnancy are at a significantly higher risk for problems than those who get the infection later in pregnancy. Having BV also makes you more susceptible to certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV, if you're exposed to them. I am sorry about your loss.

Any infection if untreated can pass to your uterus and cause preterm labor. I had a friend who just had a stillbirth at 22 weeks because of it. In short, yes.
