Will leaving a UTI untreated hurt my baby?


Question Posted Monday June 6 2011, 1:19 pm

im only a few weeks pregnant, but i have been getting really sick. i have a urinary tract infection and i also have a cold. im going to go to the doctor soon but i have to wait until i have the money. i have had the uti for about a week. Im concerned for the baby since its so early in the pregnancy. If i wait any longer will this have a serious affect on it? and with me having a cold also, will this cause a problem. this is my first so im concerned.

Yes that can be very harmful for u and the baby if left untreated got to the er immediately and you can apply for pregnancy medical insurance on the spot

Yes a UTI can become very serious. The state has medical insurance for pregnant woman and they pay for the costs and stuff. You just go to your local FSD office.

Yeah, I had a UTI last summer that I just brushed off, cause I was dumb and thought it went away. It spread to my kidneys, and I got a nasty kidney infection. You DON'T want one. I can only imagine that along with a cold, it can be potentially dangerous, especially if you're with child. I'm not a doctor, and I couldn't tell you how it would affect your baby, but I would see a doctor ASAP!

It can.

UTIs easily spread to the kidneys if left untreated. Kidney problems are BIG problems. They can cause early labor amoung other risks.

See a doctor. ASAP. Go to a clinic, or call a support for single mothers who might be able to refere you to a doctor quicker.
