Re: UTI/Mandy

Hi Mandy,

From what I learned, UTI could cause irratibility of the uterus and

ultimately preterm labour, if it is not treated. When my oldest son

was born to early, it turned out that I had a blazing bladder

and UTI , which also caused infection of my vag., placenta, and our

dear little had pneumonia, poor little angel from being in

such an infected area.

They thought at that moment that this UTI had caused the PTL.

Unfortunately for us and our second son, I also have IC.

love,

Ghislaine
