Chlamydia is not good for a fetus, chances are that if you have OTHER partners you are at RISK for STD'S.. THEY DO HURT YOUR BABY, and you could deal with the same loss over again! You need to get checked out!

Hi, I work in a chlamydia screening office, and stumbled across your story. When you were treated the second time, is this because you contracted chlamydia again whilst pregnant? Or 'just to be safe' after the first time? The antibiotic treatment is usually very effective depending on which you have, but you should have a re-test to check you're clear.
I live in the UK- and here you can do a simple free urine test to see if you have chlamydia so i would do this.
Also, whoever you slept with will need to be treated or they will keep passing chlamydia on and this can leave women with amongst other things pelvic inflamatory disease which can make you infertile, but only if you have left it untreated for a long time, I doubt in your case.
Also, condoms are best way to protect yourself from this infection again, as the more times you contract chlamydia, altho it is a simple antibiotic treatment, more damage is done each time. As for effects on the baby, I am unsure but would do everything to make sure you dont get this back. I hope it goes OK for you. Smile
