Harm to Unborn Children
As with all sexually transmitted diseases, trichomoniasis can cause adverse effects on pregnancy. The parasite can cause infections in the placental membranes, inducing the amniotic fluid to break too early, which results in premature deliveries and low birth weight.4Trichomoniasis - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf.

Premature babies are often hospitalized with respiratory and neurological issues. Pregnant women should pay particular attention to the symptoms of trichomoniasis and report to their doctors. The prescribed medications are effective and safe for unborn children.
