Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are diseases passed from one partner to another during sex. When you get prenatal care, you will be tested for STDs (another important reason to get prenatal care). If you have any infections, you and your partner will be treated. If these diseases are left untreated, they can seriously harm your infant. Go to the getting healthy before you get pregnant page to read more information on STDs and their impact on your pregnancy and baby.
