Normal feeling or possible UTI?

Linnea503

My abdomen feels warm and I'm peeing about once an hour. Is this just what being pregnant feels like or should I be screened for a urinary tract infection? I should add, I am drinking a ton of water.

It should be normal, but I would still mention it to your doc. If it worries you, drink cranberry juice and it will help.

Most UTIs present as either a burning sensation when you go to the bathroom, or after you pee you still feel like you have to go.

Unless it's you have a fever, it's painful when you urinate, or you notice a strong odor or blood in your urine it's unlikely that you have a UTI.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Before I got BFP I told DH we were either pregnant or I had a UTI.  I guess it's just a normal feeling... must be those hormones

As someone who has suffered many UTI's, I would say you need to be on the lookout for the urgancy to pee but nothing comes out, and when you do release (whether you have anything produced or not) it burns like the dickens.  And when I say urgency, I mean like you have to go NOW but ALL of the time even though you went 10 seconds ago.  If you get there then go to the Dr.  What you have sounds like just a lot of water   Cranberry is good too, just try to get cranberry juice and not a cocktail.
