STDs & Pregnancy
When a woman is pregnant STDs can be more serious for her and her baby.
- A pregnant woman with an STD can infect her baby before, during, or after the baby’s birth.
- She may also have early labor or early rupture of the membranes surrounding the baby in the uterus.
- Pregnant women should ask their doctors about getting tested for STDs, since some doctors do not routinely perform these tests.
