What is the effect of kidney infection on pregnant woman and the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: A urinary tract infection can cause premature labor. It should be treated once diagnosed. However, some of the antibiotic agents can cross the placenta and result in fetal problems as well. So carefully discuss which are the safe antibiotics to use with your obstetrician.
