Hello, thank you for the question to HealthReplies.com
First of all, you should first explain, what laboratory tests did you do and found "positive bacteria"? Are you referring to a urine test?
If indeed there are bacteria in your urine, it is also necessary to look at the results of other urine tests to ascertain whether you really have an infection in your urinary tract or the presence of these bacteria is only contamination (for example, a urine container that is unclean or urine mixed with vaginal discharge) . If it is true you have a urinary tract infection, then you need therapy with antibiotics. We recommend that you bring back the results of the laboratory examination to the obstetrician who suggested an examination (or if you do a pregnancy check at the midwife, you can do an examination with a gynecologist by bringing the results of the laboratory) to get the appropriate therapy.
The presence of bacteria in the urine (bacteriuria) in pregnant women still requires therapy even though there are no symptoms whatsoever. Therefore, you should not delay the examination to the obstetrician. The existence of urinary tract infections in pregnant women does not pose a direct danger to the pregnancy or the fetus, but this infection is very easy to spread to the kidneys into an infection in the kidney. This kidney infection is more dangerous, so therapy must be done immediately.
So much information from me, hopefully enough answer
