Hi, im 35 weeks pregnant and just been discharged from hospital having a UTI/Kidney, they found E Coli in my blood its been 6 days and started to feel ill again, with the shakes followed by the high temp, high pulse rate and sweats with serious back pain? Is there anything I can do as I'm scared the baby might get infected.
