Hi,
At the outset, please get a proper evaluation by a nephrologist or a physician as to the presence of any infection now and if it is so, ask for eradication of the infection through local measures or antibiotics. Thereafter, you would need regular evaluation through routine urine exam and culture tests at least once a month or as guided by your consultant. Get your pregnancy properly monitored by an expert and take adequate rest and maintain good genital hygiene. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
