Chlamydia while pregnant

I’m 30 weeks pregnant and me and my partner are both loyal to eachother so I have no clue how I could have contracted it, I did get told I also have BV (bacterial vaginosis) could it have been a False positive? Anyone experienced this before ??

I actually had the same thing but way earlier along, no idea what caused it to this day over a year later.

that’s crazy, did you have BV too ?

I had BV with my very first pregnancy but they said it was fairly common to develop, especially in pregnancy for some reason. I do think the fact that I didn't hop in the shower right after sex with my boyfriend might have made it more likely. As for chlamydia, pretty sure you only get that from somebody (or have a false positive resultsl) but it can't develop on its own.

Yes I did

and I’m super confused because I’m always with my husband, he’s either at work or at home with me, and I have his location, there’s no way he could have cheated on me and I don’t cheat, I’m literally so confused

Avatar

My partner and I didn’t even touch each other after I got pregnant, so I had absolutely no sexual contact for months before I contracted it 🤷🏻

Avatar

I think it can be dormant for awhile. But men can always find a way to cheat I think. I don't think there's anyway it would appear like a uti. My guess is cheated or you had it forawhile or a false positive.

Avatar

wait so you contracted it without having sex ?

Avatar

Apparently 🤷🏻

that’s wild ! They still don’t know what it could have possibly been ?!

Chlamydia Is A Sexual Transmitted Disease By having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
By mother to baby by pregnancy, labor, or nursing.

this. BV can happen with the switch of a ph balance button. Chlamydia on the other hand, not so much. It’s either dormant and appears later or passed on via sex.

Avatar

so if it’s dormant does that mean it can go undetected through tests ? And if so for how long ?

Avatar

Had the same issue my partner and I weren’t cheating I tested negative months prior and then they test me again and it’s positive

Avatar

From what I’ve read, it can lie dormant for a couple of weeks to years for people and go undetected. It can also be contracted one day and not show symptoms for weeks to months as well. But neither means that it can’t be transmitted from person to person or that it has “gone away” simply because it’s “unseen”. I suppose it just varies for different people.

Avatar

did you find out what happened? Or what it was ??

Avatar

hmm that’s really interesting, I’m gonna have to look that up, but that’s so crazy to me

Avatar

Yes, it can go undetected thru test for a long time.
My ex best friend had chlamidia for a long time before the test picked it up, she had 2 miscarriages due to having chlamidia from her ex cheating on her. The test kept showing negative, then finally positive like a year later. The dr told her it had been dormant and not showing on the test the whole time and thats what caused both miscarriages.

Thats Better Understanding When I Ask My Dr Questions Like This She Comes Off Like Straight To The Point With No Better Understanding She Can Get Me Sometimes With That Cause She Doesn’t Do A lot Of Explaining So Thank You Girly

that’s insane ! Thank you so much for that information

No way he didn’t cheat. It’s an STD :( sorry mama

Avatar

Unless he had it way before you but it’s an std :(

Avatar

I’m sorry but your partner most likely cheated. He needs to get tested & start the antibiotics when he gets results or else he will keep giving it to you. I would also be having a long talk with him if I were you.

Avatar

agree.

you’re welcome

Avatar

there’s no way he could have cheated, I have his location and he’s either at work or with me, we are in a new city we don’t know anyone here, there’s no way either of us could have cheated

Avatar

If you think it was a false positive, do another test and have your husband tested. If it still comes back positive, then your husband is not loyal as you believe he is. You can’t contract a SEXUAL TRANSMITTED DISEASE through the air.

Avatar

Maybe he’s cheating with someone at work? Or leaving his phone at his job so that the location shows him there and then leaving with someone without the phone. If seen someone do this before.

Avatar

he says he’s loyal though, and that there’s cameras at work and that he woulda been fired if he cheated on me ?im just confused as to how he would cheat ?

Avatar

Seems fishy :( just scary

Avatar

For him to go as far as saying he would of been fired if he cheated on you sounds very suspicious. If a person wants to cheat they will find a way regardless if you can track them. Chlamydia is transmitted sexually.

agree

I do not agree with any of this. I have seen another women on here post about having this as well but her and her husband did not cheat. It can lay dormant for a while like tons of others have said. I would stop listening to people here. If you truly believe that your husband did not cheat then believe him and leave this alone. Hi get re tested and if it’s positive then someone must of had it before. We’re you ever with anyone before y’all got together or him? Like you have said your husband would not be able to that’s how my husband is there is literally 0 chance or way of him cheating. If you think he didn’t cheat then great but stop listening to people that keep saying that he did. Because that’s going to get into your mind. Deeper and deeper that he’s a cheat even if he didn’t. I hate when people delete posts but I would maybe suggest doing that if people keep commenting and you really don’t think so. I would love to be updated if you get re tested or if they have figured somethi

Avatar

Out. Sit down with your husband and ask him. Ask if he cheated and say you can’t just get it through nothing and see what he says and if you believe him then great.

Avatar

yup! My ex cheated while at work... After closing, behind a deli counter 😒 can't rule anything out sadly

Avatar

You are not with ur husband 24/7. It’s good that u trust him, but hey things happen

Avatar

Denial is a river in Egypt. He cheated ma’am. What you can do is get retested and see if it was a false positive (very rare). Just because you have his location doesn’t mean shit. Men are sneaky and will always find a way. How old are you? You sound really young and naive.

Avatar

oh no girl sorry to hear that but like you said, can't rule anything out

Avatar

Saying someone is you g and naive is very rude. How old are you? you can’t just assume something from someone or in their relationship. You aren’t them. Not all men suck

Avatar

Bish I’m old enough so don’t @ me again. Chlymdia doesn’t lay dormant for awhile my OB said that’s bs. He cheated or she did.

Avatar

I can @ you if i want your OB says that. And lots of other OBs have said that it can. You don’t know them so you can’t assume anything

Avatar

I would have him tested for sure. He didn’t have to cheat but men will find ways if they want. It’s an STD and if you were tested for it earlier and it was negative and now positive not a great sign

Avatar

thank you so much 💕 I really appreciate you !

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
