2 views: Failure to treat trichomoniasis during pregnancy may result in preterm birth, low birth weight, and other adverse fetal outcomes. Asymptomatic pregnant women may defer treatment to after 37 weeks. If you have bothersome symptoms and are diagnosed with trich, oral metronidazole, which is generally considered safe for the baby. Abstain from sexual intercourse until delivery or risk re-infection.
