Pregnant after a Loss

Anyone had a UTI while pregnant?

If so, can you let me know how you felt? I've had a couple before I was pg years ago, but if what I'm feeling is one then it's different. I have a burning /painful feeling in my vag area and do have to the urge to pee alot even if it's just a drop. Walking around and being on my feet makes it much much worse. I'm making an appt in the AM to have it checked out, but wanted to get a little peace of mind if possible. TIA

Re: Anyone had a UTI while pregnant?

  • I had one around 8-9 wks and the only symptom I had was that it burned when I peed. I didnt have the urge to go all the time or anything. Guess they are pretty common during pregnancy.

  • Ive had 3 now, and I completely sympathize. If you are having the constant burning/pain/discomfort in your lady parts already, its pretty advanced and thats good that you have a an appt in the morning.Water water and more water! These develop into kidney infections if left alone and believe me, its terrible!

    If you want to try and ease some of it so you can sleep, wash down there with the hottest water you can stand then airdry (wear some loose shorts or something if you need to be modest around your house :)  My worst night of the symptoms was pure hell, and it took 1500mg of cranberry pills, about a gallon of water, 1200mg of ES Tylenol, and 2 hours of just sitting rocking back and forth in front of the TV just to get them under control to a point where I could manage to sleep a little. 

    Hopefully you can get your antibiotics tomorrow and feel better! The cranberry pills I mentioned you can get at any drugstore. I swear by them, ever since I started to take 1-2 a day I havent had a single infection. Good luck! 

  • I have. I had the same symptoms you're describing, went in and they confirmed it and gave me a scrip. 2 weeks later, I was still feeling that way, went back in and didn't have one, though I still had so much pain. Though I never had burning pee, even when it was confirmed.

    BUT, it could be something else as well... with me, They figured that since LO is sitting so low, that my uncomfort and pain is from that, and BH that I'm not feeling, but are really giving my muscles a work out. That's continued since about week 20... so 12 weeks later, and I'm an uncomfortable pissed off pg woman!

    Hope that they can give you meds that will clear it right up, and you have no other issues! Drink lots of cranberry juice!
