UTI at 31 weeks?? "abnormal cells in urine"

firstmom2b · November 2011

So just had my usual check-up and everything seems okay, except that I had some "abnormal cells" in my urine. Doc says it could be some sort of UTI - I have no symptoms. Anyways, I had a UTI at the beginning of my pregnancy, too, took an antibiotic to get rid of it.

Anyone else experience more than one UTI during their pregnancy, or this late on? Anything else besides UTI I should be prepared for???

Thanks !

I had a UTI with my DS#1. I didn't even know it. I went into the hospital for pressure and contractions and they told me about it there. Some antibiotics cleared it right up.

I had the same thing happen to me at my last appt. This being my second UTI while pregnant. Dr put me on antibiotics right away, and called me two days later when the lab work came in and said I didn't have a UTI, must have been some contamination no infection. They do a quick pee test in the office and send it out to lab. She told me to stop taking the meds and all was well. I too had zero symptoms of a UTI. Hope your on the mend soon.

I had this twice in the 2nd tri. They said it was a UTI even though I didn't have any symptoms either time. When they did further testing they found it to be caused by Strep B bacteria (same bacteria they test you for in 3rd tri to see if you need antibiotics when you deliver). Since they found that my doc says they will definitely give me the antibiotics when I deliver even though I haven't had my "official" strep B test yet.
