The E. coli UTI needs to be treated urgently â untreated UTI in pregnancy can trigger preterm labour or water breaking early. With horseshoe kidney and creatinine 1.1, this is a high-risk case. Waiting till 38 weeks is reasonable IF the UTI is treated and baby/kidney function is monitored closely. This decision must be made by your OB/GYN, not online.
Next Steps
Consult me on Practo or speak to your obstetric team immediately about the UTI treatment.
