Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion urine infections and vaginal infections are common in pregnancy.These might be the cause for preterm labour.But as you have crossed 37 weeks the risk of preterm labour is no more .So dont worry.It might not cause any problem to fetus.Take appropriate antibiotics suggested by your doctor.Take adequate fluids upto 2 to 3 litres.
