  UTI *usually* has other symptoms, but not always. If you suspect a possible UTI, you should contact your OB as they can get bad, fast. Especially during pregnancy.

  Last UTI had was completely asymptomatic for me. They caught a trace of blood in my urine sample and did a culture. I'd ask your doctor to run a urine sample to see as it is really the only way to know. Mine will let me come by whenever if I need to without and appt and leave one. You could check to see if yours will let you do that.

  I was having so much pressure in my lower abdomen I could barely walk. I was also having contractions (Braxton hicks) and was worried since this is my first pregnancy. I went to the ED and they told me I had a really
  Bad UTI. I had UTI in first trimester with regular UTI symptoms, so this time around I really didn't think I had one at all. The OB RN said sometimes you don't have symptoms during pregnancy or they can present differently, and the pressure I was feeling was from UTI. I was started on antibiotics and the pressure went away. It's hard to know what symptoms are just pregnancy or something else. I feel it's better to be safe than sorry. If a UTI a goes untreated it can lead to preterm labor, this is what the ED MD told me.

  Thanks...I typically overreact when it comes to anything and everything pregnancy related, so didn't want to jump the gun. But I will call first thing in the morning.
