nothing ....

Shit, I am going to be honest. My mom had it with me. And it can mess with her unborn childs fertility. No joke. It messed with mine cause my mom went un-treated.

I found this, I hope it helps. It gets more detailed at the bottom about treatment.


Chlamydia and Your Baby
If you are pregnant it is important to be tested, even if you are exhibiting none of the signs and symptoms of Chlamydia. Chlamydia has been linked with premature delivery resulting from the infection stimulating the rupture of your uterine membranes. Additionally, Chlamydia can cause your baby to have a low birth weight at birth. The infection can also be easily passed to your child during birth.
As your baby passes through the birth canal, she will come into contact with your blood and vaginal fluids. The bacteria that cause Chlamydia, Chlamydia trachomatis, are passed through contact with these fluids. In fact, between 20% and 50% of babies born to infected mothers will contract the infection. If your baby contracts Chlamydia from you during pregnancy, it is possible that she will develop infections in the genitals, lungs, ears, and eyes. Babies infected with Chlamydia are at a particular risk for developing neonatal conjunctivitis (pink eye) and pneumonia.
Symptoms of Chlamydia in Newborns
If you are pregnant and infected with Chlamydia, there is a good chance that your baby will also contract the illness. Neonatal conjunctivitis is an infection caused by chlamydia that occurs in your baby’s eyes. Symptoms of Chlamydia infection in the eyes generally occur within 10 days of birth. Although your baby will be alert and aware, his eyes will be irritated and red. Moreover, he may experience swollen eyelids and a discharge from his eyes. This discharge can range from watery to thick and yellowish in appearance.
Even though your baby’s symptoms can vary, from very mild to severe, it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. Conjunctivitis can be very damaging to your newborn’s eyes and can cause scarring and even permanent blindness.
Chlamydia infections in newborns can also lead to Infant Pneumonia. Symptoms of this infection develop between three and six weeks after birth. Your baby will exhibit a dry, irritating cough, which will gradually become more congested. Symptoms will become worse and can include rapid or labored breathing. 50% of newborns with Chlamydia pneumonia will also develop Chlamydial conjunctivitis.
Testing and Treatment
If you are pregnant, ask to be tested for Chlamydia even if you are not exhibiting any symptoms and aren’t at high risk for the disease. Because your baby can pick up Chlamydia in the birth canal, it is better to be aware of any infection before birth so that it can be properly treated before the baby is infected.
Pregnant women who are infected will be treated with Erythromycin or Amoxicillin. These antibiotics are usually taken once a day for seven days and will cure 90% of infected mothers. If you have received treatment for Chlamydia, it is a good idea for to have Chlamydia testing again 3 weeks after your treatment, to be sure that your body is rid of the disease.
If your baby is born with signs of Chlamydia he can also be successfully treated with Erythromycin. However, by getting tested when you first find out you are pregnant, you can prevent your baby from contracting the disease and suffering any physical damage as a result.

OMG that's horrible. But since they are going to the Ob i'm pretty sure they will have to get it cured...I hope.

It saddens me everytime I think about it. I wish they would have been more responsible.

My friend had it before she was pregnant. When she found out she was pregnant they weren't sure if it was cured or not. But the doc scared the crap outta her by telling her that if it's not cured the babies can be blind. So make sure they get treated. I don't know how theytreat it though. Oh but she found out that she was allergic to a certain type of soap and once she stopped using that, the symptoms cleared. So maybe that's what's wrong with A?

our sexual health screenings here test for it through a swab. I didn't realise you could tell through a blood test   They said if you have it then you need to take antibiotics, i think it was for 10 days or 2 weeks.

Here they test all under 25s during pregnancy at their first appointment, i believe it's because it can cause blindness in the fetus(but i may be confusing the effect with something else).

Thanks I am going to print this out and give it to both of them.

my bestfriend had it before she got pregnant and she treated it, and when she got checked out her blood work came back perfect!

my friend had it while she was pregnant.

I wish it was just an allergic reaction for A but she is the one that had it confirmed by her OB. So now she has to find a way to tell the dad because he will surely find out next week.

short term it's an infection, not like a scary disease that needs to be 'cured' iykwim! It's like 1 in10 under 25s will have it at some point, pretty nasty to think how many people must have it and be spreading it about!

well at least it's something that can be cured

I hope both of them get treated and learn a vauable lesson. It would be heartwrenching if those innocent babies had to suffer the consequences.

They are like sisters to me so it tears me to even know this.

Well I am happy to hear they are seeking the medical help to get it cured! They are both in my thoughts!

I am thankful it can be cured. It is becoming more common in the area here. That makes 3 of my cousins who've had it and none of them are 18.
I can understand it happening once but 2 and 3 times is a little pathetic.
