Dr. ALICIA Almendral answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Complicated UTI: Uti in pregnancy is considered complicated and requires treatment. Untreated UTI puts you at risk for premature labor and delivery; sepsis (infection that spread to other organ system) to name a few. Please see your OB and follow her recommendations.

I had a UTI, had an antibiotic. I took 1 pill of the antibiotic, then stopped because it felt like it was going away without medication. I don't like taking them cause I'm on BC and waited 10 days for unprotected sex. Do I have any risk of pregnancy?
