Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Presence of more pus cells along with bacteria indicates that there is urinary tract infection. Since you are pregnant, you have to take antibiotics very cautiously.
UTI is more common in pregnancy. My suggestion would be to consult obstetrician for the antibiotic course.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
