Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in kids. They happen when bacteria (germs) get into the bladder or kidneys. A baby with a UTI may have a fever, throw up, or be fussy. Older kids may have a fever, have pain when peeing, need to pee a lot, or have lower belly pain. Kids with UTIs need to see a doctor. These infections won't get better on their own. UTIs are easy to treat and usually clear up in a week or so.
Pregnancy increases your risk of having a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are more common in multiple pregnancies than in pregnancies with one fetus. A UTI during pregnancy can be difficult to distinguish from the usual symptoms of pregnancy (such as bladder pressure, frequent urination, or back pain). Some pregnant women who have UTIs have no symptoms at all. Symptoms of a urinary tract infection are: 1  Frequent urination. 2  A feeling of burning during urination. 3  Pain or itching during urination.
