Having severe infections is associated with preterm delivery while certain infections may also be transmitted to the fetus, such as congenital syphilis. Hence, prevention is always the cure. It is recommended to screen everyone for asymptomatic bacteriuria by having a urine culture taken early in the pregnancy and secondly to screen when one have symptoms of painful urination. Sexually transmitted diseases is associated with preterm delivery and the risk of fetal transmission hence it is best to inform your doctor if you are at risk and to prevent such infections before and during pregnancy. If you are at risk, these can be tested early in the pregnancy, midway and also just before delivery.
