Bladder Infections & Pregnancy: Risks, Miscarriage & Tissue Passing

Question
Hi my question is, can you have a miscarriage if you have a bladder infection? Last year at 11 wks pregnant I had  miscarried and found out that I also had a UTI. Now this year I was 17 wks pregnant and miscarried again with a UTI, but after I miscarried I was urinating with blood. I find it has gotten worse this UTI because now theres some type of tissue passing when I urinate. I was on antibiotics after miscarriage. So now I am just thinking that maybe its a bladder infection. And could that be the result why I miscarried?

Answer
Dear Jeri

UTI more commonly leads to preterm labor but is not known to result in a miscarriage. Urianting blood and tissue may point out to the presence of a urinary stone not just a UTI.

I advise consultaion with a urologist for proper diagnosis of your urinary complaint.
