Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
We worry about bacteria in the urine during pregnancy because these are more likely to become kidney infections (in pregnancy). In fact, most women start their pregnancy with labs that include a urine culture just to rule this out. If you have been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, your doctor correctly recommended treatment with a medication that is known to be safe during pregnancy.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
