Yes, you should head back to the hospital. If you are having the same pain and symptoms you had with a previous kidney infection in this same pregnancy, it is likely that your infection is back. Pyelonephritis, or a kidney infection, is more common in pregnancy than in the general population. As you know, it can cause serious pain, fever and other symptoms. More importantly, pyelonephritis has been linked to preterm labor. It is important that you go back to the hospital. If your infection has returned, it can be treated again and help give your baby more time.
