November 18, 2018 QUICK FACTS: How Could An STI/STD Affect My Pregnancy? Pregnancy can be affected by a sexually transmitted infection and, if left untreated, can create serious health risks for you and your child. Most OB/GYN offices will routinely screen for STIs at your first pregnancy (obstetrics) visit. It is possible to have an STI while pregnant and not have any symptoms. STIs can be passed to a developing fetus during pregnancy and/or to the baby during labor and delivery. Some STIs (bacterial) can be treated with antibiotics. For other STIs (viral) steps can be taken to reduce the risk of transmission or manage symptoms. Potential risks of untreated STI can include: pre-term labor, pre-mature rupture of membranes, low birth weight and others.
