30 Weeks Pregnant the Worst Thing!! Std!please Help Posted: 05-23-06 14:04pm
Hi
i m 30 weeks pregnant and I just been
diagnosed with syphilis. I had that test
done also in the beginning of the
pregnancy and it was negative. Before my
pregnancy I did that test along with other
std tests a few times and it always came
out negative.My baby father also got
tested for all those last year a few times
everything always came out negative. I ve
been with him for about 18 month. Before
I was with someone else. So now that I
found this devestating news out I m going
crazy I don't know what 's gonna happen.
I read a few things about syphilis what
affect it has on unborn or newborn babies.
They could be born still, have problems
with any organ. Have face deformation or
mental retardation. I had an ultrasound
done at 20 weeks doctors said everything
looks healthy and at 25 weeks I had a 3d
done for fun and the face looks fine to
me. I just found this out a week ago and
at that time they have giving me the
penicillin shot already wich is the cure.
Well I know it's the cure for me. But
what about the baby?? Will the baby have
medical problems now or might I loose the
baby??They said to cure it takes 1 week.
To me it seems so unreal how could it
happen if my man never cheats and I have
prove I believe him in that situation he
wouldn' t lie anymore.And I don't sleep
around neither. The most I did is shake
someone's hand is that possible?? Plus I
don't hav no symptoms non of the leisures
or never had fewer I had a sore throat
thru the pregnancy but sore throat been a
problem my whole life. Please help I
don't know what to do all I do is crying
and thinkin what's gonna happen I don't
deserve this I m a good person and don't
do nobody no harm. I know u might tell me
to ask my doctor but my appointment is in
2 days I can't wait that long nomore I
need to know something now. Please help I
would apreciate fast reply
thanks

Well, either you have had syphilis for a
long period of time, or your boyfriend has
given this to you. I'm not going to argue
about his fidelity or anything. I'm just
stating the facts, plain and simple.
Either you had this and brought it to the
relationship or he gave it to you.
Something I would question would by why
did you have so many tests for stds? Why
did your boyfriend get tested a 'few'
times last year? You two have obviously
been worried about something. Also, a pap
smear is not a test for stds. A pap smear
is only a test for cervical abnormalities.
You are not tested for stds unless you
ask to be tested for stds.
A google search is a good thing, I found
loads of information. However, you really
will need to speak with your doctor for
specifics.

I was told I had hpv which is also an std
in the begging of my pregnancy.. Come to
find out my boyfriend had gotten from
cheating on me and passed it to me. It
took me getting pregnant and the symptoms
getting worst for me to find out.
I hope all goes well for you and u find
out what you need and if u need anyone to
talk to dont be afraid to ask !!

Maybe it can lie dormant in your system or
something-although, I think it would still
show up on a test
you can only catch it though sexual
intercourse, or very, very intimate
cotact.
~casting suspicious glances in your
boyfriend's direction~
your baby should be ok in terms of
malfomation-babies are fully developed by
14 weeks of pregnancy, all they do for the
rest of the time is get bigger. If he had
no facial or developmental abnormalities
at the 20 week ultrasound, then he's fine-
he can't un-develop, if you know what I
mean. He can, however contract the
infection through the placenta, and it can
damage his internal organs.
Hopefully, with your treatment the impact
will be reduced. It's when the disease is
untreated that most of the problems
occur.
I wish you and your baby all the very
best.

hpv can stay in your system for 10 years
without being noticed. You could have
gotten hpv from anyone you have ever had
sex with. What symptoms of hpv did you
have?

the Worst Thing Could Happen!!!please Help Posted: 05-23-06 22:05pm
Hi
i did get tested often because I have a
yeast infection problems so I went to many
different doctors every time I went they
did tests for std's and they told me wich
ones.Also me and my boyfriend did few
tests before we get envolved and since
some std/s show up after 3 month in the
blood that's why we did it again to make
sure. I haven't had this I can remember
clearlly how I did the syphilis test
before pregnancy at a health department
and also at the beginning of my pregnancy.
So I didn't give it to him. Or does the
disease not show up in the blood for over
a year??It says it everywhere that
syphilis will show up in the blood the
latest in 3 month. Question are you a
doctor or just a chatter?? I also read
that some viral infections that a person
already has may affect the blood test for
syphilis and it comes out positive even
tho it's not. Could it be???

What is hpv??? Is it herpes??? I don't
understand wherever I read about it it
says it should show up after 3month. I
don't want my baby to pass away or to be
disabled. Right before my boyfriend I did
have a one night stand but I don't usually
do that. And before like 4 years ago I
had a serious boyfriend for 2 years but he
was like a virgin young and very shy he
only had one woman in his life before me
so I for sure didn't catch nothing from
him and as far as I know all std's show up
the latest after 3 month even hiv but it
could show up after 9 month the latest in
the rarest cases.

You;ve been with nobody but your boyfriend
for 18 months, and you both had the all
clear before and during your
relationship.
You got the all clear just before you got
pregnant, and after- what about 10 weeks
pregnant right? So, 20 weeks, later, you
get a positive.
Sometime in the last 3-4 months, you
contracted it from somewhere.
The only place you could have gotten it is
your boyfriend. I'm sorry to say it, but
it's the only thing that makes sense.
It wouldn't take 18 months to test
positive. When they say something is
lying dormant in your system, it means you
test positive for it, but have no
symptoms-it's there, but it's dormant. If
all the information you've found says it
will take a maximum of 3 months to show
up, that means that's the longest time
it's been recorded as taking- do you know
what I mean?
So you almost certainly had to have picked
it up in the last 4 months, unless the
first round of tests just missed it- but
either way, you definately got it since
you've been with your boyfriend.
Speak to him.
He needs to be tested again now too, if he
hasn't been already.

Fists of all thank yall for all your
support and help. Well yes I did speak to
my man and he keeps saying he wasn't with
nobody. And it looks like he wasn't with
nobody for real. He comes hom excactly
after work he picks me up from my job all
the time. And he's soo proud that i' m
his girl he always introduce me to
everybody. Plus his job is a sanitation
job so he couldn't have been doing it
there neither not like in an office where
people get it on. I don't think anybody
wants to have anything to do with him
while he's workin in that dirty uniform.
Well but we will see he did the test
already it will come out in 1 week. But I
feel a lil better it seems like all this
bad things like stillbirth and all that
can only happen if u don't have no cure.
But if u do it should be ok.
Has any of ya ever had an std?? While
pregnant was there any complication??? I
m also seriously thinking that they might
have mixed up my blood test with someone
else.

I've never had one, thank god, and, I was
lucky enough to have two healthy
pregnancies.
What kind of "sanitation" work does your
boyfriend do? Does he regularly come into
contact with peoples bodily fluids? Is
there any chance he handled something in
the line of his work that might have
infected him?
