Klebsiella Pneumonia

Has anyone had this while pregnant? I've heard it's pretty rare but I'm in my first trimester with my first pregnancy (having twins!) and I'm freaking out because I'm on my second round of meds with this and just wanted to see if anyone else had an experience. There isn't much on the internet that discusses it and the sites that do sound pretty scary. Thanks!

    Do you mean klebsiella pneumoniae? (A type of bacteria and just spelled wrong) Or do you actually have pneumonia? And where do you have it? I'm a hospital microbiologist and I'm going to make a guess that you have a urinary tract infection, and no it's not rare, its a common cause of urinary tract infection. Unless you've been told it's a very resistant form of that bacteria.
