Clamidya ... Help me someone lol

26 replies

So... I need some of your help.
the last time I had sex with my children's father is when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was about 4 months. I gave birth to my daughter and seperated from him shortly after. Now then I got in a new relationship for the past year with someone else, he told me he got tested before he slept with me. Now I'm pregnant, due to have an abortion, had a call from the clinic to tell me I have Clamidiya. :/
Now... My thoughts are it must be from the current guy, and I'm not to blame as surely when I was pregnant they test you for these things, and surely I could have given it to my child during childbirth.
God knows how this has happened, I mean I've slept with 2 people in the ten years. But before I blame the current guy, I want to make sure it couldn't have been my ex.

Some one help!

Assuming you were tested during your previous pregnancy then yes it must be from your current partner. Tell him immediately so you can both get treatment asap.

Motherfuckers · 02/10/2016 19:30

If you have not been tested previously, surely it could have been either of them that you contracted it from. My understanding is that chlamydia is often symptomless, but quite common. It doesn't matter that you only slept with two people, they could have slept with hundreds.

Beckysk · 02/10/2016 19:31

Thank you for your reply.

I figured it was routine, but didn't actually know for sure if they did one??

Yes he's got his phone off, but have been convinced he's been cheating on me. May be his chance to come clean

Routine to check for stis in pregnancy

PenguinPoser · 02/10/2016 19:32

Chlamydia testing is not routine in pregnancy so you could have had previously

BurnTheBlackSuit · 02/10/2016 19:33

Could you ask your GP to find out if you were tested in your last pregnancy for you?

DocMcFanjo · 02/10/2016 19:36

Chlamydia isn't tested for in pregnancy, so unless you specifically requested an STI screen at that time then it could be from either.

Beckysk · 02/10/2016 19:39

Isn't it? Wow. So I could have had it previously and passed it on to my daughter during birth because someone cheated on me. RAW. I was tested for it before I got together with my child's father, so it was him or the current guy!

Just thought I had a smear after my baby was born. Wouldn't it show up then?

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 02/10/2016 19:58

I don't think they check for chlamydia during smears but I could be wrong!

I got a chlamydia check when i pregnant

TwentyCups · 02/10/2016 20:06

If you were under 25 during your last pregnancy you will have been screened ( I don't know if this is consistent all over the UK though). Is it possible to pass to a baby?

abbinob · 02/10/2016 20:10

You can pass it to a baby but they get conjunctivitis, I think it's 40% of the time that it is passed on through birth so yes you could have had it ages without knosing, it's quite common

Beckysk · 02/10/2016 20:11

Yeah I researched it, and freaked out. Yes I was under 25. So that helps. I'm going to go to the doctor to get treated so it might be worth asking him as its very mixed answers. Glad I'm not the only clueless one though

Imnotaslimjim · 02/10/2016 20:11

It won't show in a smear test either so sadly you could have had it while pregnant.

Has your youngest been ill at all? 10-20% of newborns that contract chlamydia at birth develop conjunctivitis or pneumonia. She may well not have had any symptoms at all. The only way to know is to ask for her to be tested too.

Beckysk · 02/10/2016 20:14

She had conjunctivitis when she was 8 months, and an absolutely awful cough at 20 months. Could this be related? Now feeling like the worst mum in the world

dontpokethebear · 02/10/2016 20:17

Chlamydia wouldn't have given her conjunctivitis or a cough...

TwentyCups · 02/10/2016 20:18

Don't blame yourself, the only thing to do now is get treated and get your daughter tested.
STIs are incredibly common. I had chlamidya for two years and ended up with awful pelvic inflammatory pain before I found out which was awful. My partner also cheated. You are not alone in this

Beckysk · 02/10/2016 20:25

Thank you

OP posts:

abbinob · 02/10/2016 21:01

Becky no it wouldn't have caused that it'd be right after birth if there were any problems not at 8 months

Imnotaslimjim · 02/10/2016 21:23

don'tpoke actually it can, I'm not saying it has

If DD has been ill and got through it without investigation, chances are she doesn't have chlamidya, that's why I asked!

MadAsABagOfCats · 04/10/2016 19:16

Chlamydia affects fertility so the fact that you have recently gotten pregnancy might mean you don't have it very long. Usually, when you test positive for an std, they contact trace and contact all your previous sexual partners since the last negative test so they can get tested. They won't say it was through you.

Beckysk · 06/10/2016 17:29

I spoke to a doctor who didn't help. He said they probably tested during pregnancy and you can't pass it through giving birth to your child. To be honest, he seemed completely uninterested in treating me at all or making me feel better
