Mycoplasma Miscarriage?
Posted: 09-06-04 13:58pm

Hey there... I was hoping to find anyone with more information on mycoplasma, a bacteria that can be present in the uterus and cause a miscarriage.

My mother had mycoplasma just before she was trying to have me... She had 3 miscarriages at all stages of gestation.. One baby was even at 4 months.

I had myself a miscarriage 3 months ago and am pregnant again (yay!). But due to this knowledge i'm sort've worried. I know a lot of miscarriages happen for genetic reasons, and it's quite normal in women, so because of this they won't really check for things like mycoplasma until after 2-3 miscarriages. The other thing about my miscarriage was it was "missed", meaning the baby died at around 8 weeks pregnancy and I didn't start to bleed until 13-14 weeks!

Does anyone have any more information about mycoplasma caused miscarriages? Are there any other symptoms? Can I still be checked for it through a pregnancy at request? If I had it, could I take the antibiotics and this baby still be okay? Any other information would be helpful. Thanks Smile
