Had Stillbirths. Had Ureaplasma. What Is It?

Hi
I have had two still births this year 19 weeks and 16 weeks. I was told I had ureaplasma 3 days before my second still birth. They said it does not get to the baby however I would like a second opinion on that please as my readings on the internet says different. I am confused at this stage and would appreciate some help. Thank You.

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. Infection may cause stillbirth by a number of mechanisms, including direct infection, placental damage, and severe maternal illness. A large variety of organisms have been associated with stillbirth, including many bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Ascending bacterial infection, both before and after membrane rupture, with organisms such as Escherichia coli, group B streptococci, and Ureaplasma urealyticum is usually the most common infectious cause of stillbirth.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
