Brief Answer:
Can be easily treated.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Your wife is having just a mild infection in the urine. Not to worry, as it is not something which is untreatable or life threatening, but she needs a prompt medical attention to address this issue. Kindly visit a Gynecologist, so that she may do a physical assessment and suggest few tests like Urine Culture or Ultrasound abdomen to rule out any renal involvement.

Antibiotics are the typical treatment for this infection. It will not affect the child if controlled early. In case the infection is recurrent or persistent then it can cause pre term labor pains.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
