A member asked:

Can a uti during pregnancy be harmful to the fetus even if it never develops to a kidney infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTIs in pregnancy: UTIs are a problem in pregnancy mainly because they can lead to premature labor. An ordinary bladder infection which is treated properly presents no risk to a fetus.
