22wks just diagnoised with Trich.
Does this affect my baby in any way? Im so upset because i didn't know and i trusted my child father and now im in a horrible situation i feel.
I want to kill him and the baby is fine i found out the sex yesterday and her hb was 152. So she is okay right now and i havent had sex since june so i had to have it since june and got the anti's as soon as she let me.
Any std could affect the baby if not treated in time. Hopefully you didn't have it to too long. Omg i would KILL my baby daddy. Smh I'm so sorry girl ino you hurting with that news!
What is the treatment for trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis can be cured with a single dose of prescription antibiotic medication (either metronidazole or tinidazole), pills which can be taken by mouth. It is okay for pregnant women to take this medication. Some people who drink alcohol within 24 hours after taking this kind of antibiotic can have uncomfortable side effects.\U00A0
People who have been treated for trichomoniasis can get it again.\U00A0 About 1 in 5 people get infected again within 3 months after treatment.\U00A0 To avoid getting reinfected, make sure that all of your sex partners get treated too, and wait to have sex again until all of your symptoms go away (about a week).\U00A0 Get checked again if your symptoms come back.

Trichomoniasis (or “trich”) is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by infection with a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. Although symptoms of the disease vary, most women and men who have the parasite cannot tell they are infected.

It could cause preterm labor If left untreated but it really doesn't effect the baby. Antibiotics will cure it within a week or so
Could it be cured with antibiotics? Usually if you don't get any infections cured it can use preterm labor.
