Your baby can have birth defects I have seen it and its sad. Suck it up and take the medicine. You don't want to harm your baby for life.

I Agree with Jg041005 I would ask your doctor if there is an alternative to the pill and if there is not if there is a easier way for you to take them that will minimize you getting sick.

I would definitely ask your dr if there is an alternative to the pills just to be on the safe side. Their are way too many risks for your little one

I know they give you these pills to take... I don't know how to take pills... so I'm asking is there another way I can get this treated.. plus when I tried to take them the first time I threw them right back up..

First of all why would you not want to have this treated?
Untreated chlamydial infection has been linked to problems during pregnancy, including preterm labor, premature rupture of the membranes surrounding the baby in the uterus, and low birth weight5.  The newborn may also become infected during delivery as the baby passes through the birth canal. Neonatal (newborn) infections lead primarily to eye and lung infections. All pregnant women should be tested for chlamydia at their first prenatal visit. Repeat testing in the third trimester should be done for women at high risk.  
And not to scare you but I knew a girl who had a miscarriage and found out after she had Chlamydia.. Get this treated ASPA

When not pregnant it can cause scar tissue from infection and leave you sterile. I'm not sure what it would do to your baby but I've heard it can cause miscarriage in early pregnancy. I wouldn't wait, better to have it treated now rather than later
