Chlamydia and Pregnancy:
If you are pregnant and have chlamydia, you can give the infection to your baby during delivery. This can cause an eye infection or pneumonia in your baby. Having chlamydia may also make it more likely to deliver your baby early.

Women: If symptoms occur at all, they include pelvic pain, painful urination and pus-like discharge.
Gonorrhea Damage:
Men: Sterility. Scarring of the urethra and urinary tract problems.
Women: Sterility. Surgery in severe cases. Can cause PID.
Both: Can increase risk of HIV infection 2-5x.
Gonorrhea and Pregnancy:
If you are pregnant and have gonorrhea, you can give the infection to your baby during delivery. This can cause serious health problems for your baby. If you are pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider about getting the correct examination, testing, and treatment. Treating gonorrhea as soon as possible will make health problems for your baby less likely.
