UTI
Do any of you have anything that you used to relief the discomforts of a UTI? I have one and could not sleep last night because I was going to the bathroom every 10 minutes with only a trickle. I realize I need antibiotics and will get them but until the prescription is called in I am so uncomfortable!! My bladder is contracting over and over again and I feel like I have to pee so bad but can't. I think there is some blood there, too. It's not spotting, it's in the urine. Any ideas??
I know it's been a while since this post was written. If you have a UTI you should go to the doctor - especially when you are pregnant. If you worry about the antibiotic you were prescribed, then talk to your doctor to give you a different one. I had a UTI during pregnancy and afterwards while nursing. I took antibiotics each time to prevent worse (kidney infection, preterm labor). The doctors have pregnant patients coming to them all the time and should know what is safe and what not.
In the meantime drinking a lot helps, Cranberry pills and AZO from the store. I am not sure if it is for pregnant women though.

I guess everyone is different, I was on rx and didn't get relief from the "urgency" for 2 days.
Unfortunately, even rx will take a while to give relief. Cranberry juice will give some relief sooner for the "I gotta go now" feeling. I hope you feel better soon!
The meds the dr gives you will relieve the symptoms almost immediately. There is something over the counter called AZo for UTI's and it works pretty well in the interim. Make sure you go tot he dr though because at 36 weeks I had one and it traveled to my kidneys. Not good!!
Good luck!
Good luck!
Thanks. I think it has. I have aching in my kidneys. Like I said, once it is 8 am here (20 min) I will call and have them write a Rx for me. I just want relief NOW. It's so uncomfortable!!
Drink alot of water.Like non stop,also cranberry juice 100%.I get UTI alot bc I only have 1 kidney.Hope you feel better soon.Go to dr. ASAP,any infection is BAD while prego.& RX is better for you infection.
Do you always get the Rx when you have it? I have been getting them more in the past year, but I was SO miserable last night I sat on the edge of the bed and cried. Then called the nurse line at 2 am, like there's anything they can do anyhow!! I was just reading about macrobid and it is unknown if it is safe for pregnant women. I don't like that and now I'm wondering if I should just treat myself!
