uti durning pregnancy

My obgyn told me i have a uti.. I thought well no big deal ive had them before but does it affect you more or harm the baby? They gave me a prescription but any other time that ive had one I let it flush out on its own and never had any problems.

Untreated UTI during pregnancy can be very harmful. Causing miscarriage/pre term labor, blood infection, and so on. I hate taking medicine too for things I can usually treat myself,  but during pregnancy the medication is definitely necessary.

If a UTI is left untreated it can be very dangerous the prescription will heal you up in no time

The infection is MUCH more dangerous than the medication

The infection can cause you to go into pre term labor. I would take the prescription to be on the safe side.
