Treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) in Pregnant Women

A pregnant woman who develops a UTI should be treated promptly to avoid premature delivery of her baby and other risks such as high blood pressure.

Some antibiotics are not safe to take during pregnancy.

In selecting the best treatments, doctors consider various factors such as:

  • the drug's effectiveness,
  • the stage of pregnancy,
  • the mother's health, and
  • potential effects on the fetus.
