Will A Pregnancy Female With Kidney Infection Delivery Early?
my daughter in law was admitted to the hospital 2 days ago for a kidney infection. She is 30 weeks pregnant, and they said she has e-coli in her kidneys now. They are doing another test today, because her cervix is also shortening. If this test is positive, then they said the baby will come early. She is also on methadone, 35 mg daily. What can we expect with this baby now that she is probably going to deliver early?

Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
A kidney infection can be treated by a course of antibiotics.
It has no relation to delivery time.
It has no bearing on the health of the fetus either.
So don't worry at all. What's the reason for the opioid ' Methadone '.
It's given in case of pain,as an analgesic.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports and medication,as a direct question.
