What Complications Can Arise During Pregnancy When Diagnosed With UTI?

Hello, I am 32 weeks pregnant and 25 years old. During my urine test 2 days before pu cells were 25-30/hpf. I am concerned about my baby s health snd my kidney related issue my doc has suggested me to go through higher tests. During sonography my baby weighted 1825gms which is good and my baby is safe. Need to know if I can have a normal delivery or will be there any complications in my health or during pregnancy.

Hi,

Recurrent urine infections are very common in pregnancy especially during the last few weeks. Since you have already identified the infection and have now under gone other tests which I am sure include urine culture sensitivity and renal scan an renal function tests.
You should take antibiotics to treat the infection immediately as urine infection can lead to preterm labour and it is early at 32 weeks. Once the infection is cleared, you will not have any problems.
Normal delivery is very much possible for you and cesarean is done only if there is a problem to fetal or maternal health during labour.
So please take antibiotics depending on the culture sensitivity report.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
