A member asked:
Are bladder infections cause for greater concern during pregnancy than not?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Bladder infections can more easily progress to kidney infections during pregnancy. This is of greater concern because kidney infections may lead to preterm labor. It may also lead to a serious infection in the blood that is caused by the bacteria found in the kidney infection.

Yes: Bladder infections are more concerning in pregnancy due to relaxation of the muscular system in your urinary tract, which may allow bacteria to ascend up from your bladder to your kidneys more easily. This can lead to even more serious infection that could potentially become life-threatening. For that reason we perform a urine culture at the time of your first prenatal visit and subsequently.
