What can i expect with pyelonephritis during birth?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Hopefully you mean you had pyelonephritis earlier in pregnancy. If so, it should have no impact at all during delivery. It is a kidney infection treated with antibiotics. Once it has resolved then no special treatments or precautions need to be done during the actual delivery. If you are in labor now with a current kidney infection then antibiotics will need to be continued.

Antibiotic treatment: Your infection will be treated with antibiotics and your baby will be observed for signs of infection.
