Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion your urine report suggests urinary tract infection(UTI).

The presence of leukocyte esterase positive strongly suggests UTI.

But nothing to worry as it can be treated by a course of sensitive antibiotics.

UTI is routinely seen in pregnancy.
So take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day, cranberry juice to prevent UTI.

Only untreated UTI cause problems like irritation of uterus and pain.

If treated it doesn't harm the pregnancy.

After a week of completion of a course of antibiotics get a complete urine examination done to ensure the clearance of infection.

Nothing to worry as such.

Hope this helps.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
