Just need somebody to talk to

You did not fail your child. Don't think like that. Plenty of women go through worse while pregnant and some do it on purpose..or knowingly. I'm pretty sure if you knew about any potential danger or risk to your baby you would try to avoid it at all times. You will be fine and so will your baby. Try nit to stress too much about it.

oh girl please don't beat urself up over this, u are not a bad mother, u could have had something happen to u even worse and still not have failed ur baby, please trust and belie've this is so common more than u think and once u get it all out and over with u will forget about it, just a small bump in the road life goes on, when I found out I had both I was absolutely disgusted with myself beat myself up way too much, it wasn't my bf fault bcuz I had just got with him and had been with someone else before. I thought I would never get over it or that he would be disgusted with me, but I built up the guts and I tried to tell him in a way that was sorry and felt for him, but also u can't let urself be too vulnerable and let him beat u down or make u feel like a gross person, that's how my ex was but only if I let him think it's okay or that I deserved to be put down and ashamed WHICH U DON'T!maybe if u find out it wasn't from him try taking him to a doctor with u and let them explain how common and harmless it is, as disgusting as it may sound it's a normal human infection and curable, it will go away abd u will never have to deal with it again.

don't worry hun, gonorrhea & chlamydia are very similar, sounds bad but I've experienced having both at one time in the past before pregnancy! doc said if u have one it's very common if u have the other..the shot burns don't it? anyway this will not effect ur baby at all unless u were to give birth while having it, or unless uve had it for like several years abd had a severe case (which u would know)so make sure  u are not stillhaving sex with bf and ur supposed to wait for about 7 days after u get shot to have sex, so if so u may want to get another shot. if ur test were negative in the beginning u really need to talk to ur bf, I knowtgthat's not what u want to hear, last thing I'd want to even consider especially while pregnant..but it doesn't sound good honey, yet idk ur bf or what kind of person he is. but please don't beat urself up or feel ashamed bc this is wayyyy more common than u think. I hope u can get it all worked out , no worries as long as u make sure it's completely gone especially before giving birth. God bless u and ur baby u will be fine!

&& if I were you , sit your bf down && talk . don't make it a fight . Tell him there's a chance its a false positive so he doesn't get mad && think you cheated && ask if he has anything to tell you && if he says he didn't cheat , ask him to get tested asap . If he does have it don't have sex till you both finish your medication . If he tests negative you should get tested again for confirmation but still take the antibiotics for safety measures and the health of the baby

Call the hospital and they should give you results over the phone ! && that's your best bet if you're concerned about really having it && how you got it . Just have him tested && then you'll know what's going on (:

I'm sorry that you have to face this.You should try going to a health unit where they do the free testing. But you should have gotten something back from the hospital a phone call or something saying you did or didn't test negative. Be thankful it isn't something you have to live with for the rest of your life. Some of us aren't so lucky to just take medicine and have it completely go away. Not to sound rude but you need to just lay it out and tell your man. You won't know anything until you talk. But it could also be a false positive. Just try to be open and upfront with him

Thanks for sharing that it makes me feel a little better, when I wiped n saw green mucus looking stuff(just a tiny bit) I went to the hospital n they swobbed me dwn there n said they will call if I have something n I also told my doctor n she swobbed dwn there, n a week n half later my Dr called n said I have gonorrhea, why haven't the hospital called me yet, or send something in the mail? ( I live literally right down the street from the hospital so if they did send something n the mail I should have gotten it ASAP .

Just putting this out there for the ladies who tested positive but SO tested negative , its prove that pregnant women had FALSE positives all the time . don't quote me but I think something with all the pregnancy hormones makes you test positive when you really don't have it . Please don't jump to conclusions and assume someone cheated . Get retested or have him tested . If he tests positive then yes , you have it . If he tests negative , you dont but still take the meds as a precaution . Go do some googling to ease your mind . False positives are very common and I wish your doctor would of told you guys that .

I know it's hard to hear and think about....but gonnohrea is one of those stds that show symptoms most of the time. I know it's hard to imagine him cheating...but just cause he said he hasn't doesn't mean he hasn't ya know?? I don't wanna make you upset, but **** happens. Guys lie and cheat. If you're only sleeping with him, then he's the only way you'd get it. Symptoms of gonnohrea usually show up pretty close to after having sex with someone who has it. Please talk to him and have him tested.

Just tell him your doctor is asking for him to get tested for anything if he wants to continue having sex with you for the health of the baby

Some Stds go away others don't and I don't think a doctor will test you unless you have concerns and it's usually easier to get a pap smear earlier on compared to later on in pregnancy

Don't worry, I can answer your questions! Lol. First, don't feel bad about talking to him about it. After all, if you tested negative in the beginning and got it just now, then you know it's from him. It's his fault. I would ask him about if he's been with someone else. I'm sorry you have to go through that. Telling my husband was EXTREMELY hard. But that's because I didn't get it from him, I got it before we were even together and just never knew :/ chlamydia is known as the silent std cause you rarely have symptoms. He got tested and thankfully didn't even have it! So I got cured and all is fine now. Definitely have him go get tested. And yes, you can have sex but not until a week or two after getting that shot, so it has time to clear. Although, I would consider not having sex with your bf if he gave it to you in the first place. You can't have sex if he's infected. Sorry again you're going through this :(

Ahh. Well then id have a serious talk with your man about that. I'm sure baby is just fine though. You're pretty far along, you've had ultrasounds right?? Usually they can tell you if there are abnormalities. Don't worry, as long as you got it taken care of, it's not life threatening or anything like that to baby. All will be fine :)

Wow, they didn't test you in the beginning?? I got a pap at 8 weeks and they found it then! Well, I don't know about the shot. When I had chlamydia which is pretty close to gonnohrea, they gave me these two pills to take. Only took a week to go away. So I'm sure it'll take about that long for you. But if you've had it this entire time, it could have harmed the baby. Doctors are supposed to check in the beginning. But I'm sure as long as it's taken care of before delivery it will be okay.
