Just go the health department and get antibiotics because nothing over the counter will be a fix for a uti. Be safe rather than sorry.
Utis are most dangerous to pregnant women during the first trimester. If left untreated they can quickly (in a matter of hours) turn into a kidney infection which can infect the bloodstream and even cause a miscarriage. I was the same as babyberry. Went to get a script and was in and out in just a few hrs and the treatment helped instantly.
Yes it can, they cause complications and if left untreated they turn into kidney infection.
I went to the er for a uti and they gave me anti biotics and sent me home same day quick and easy
I don't know if it can hurt the baby. But I do know if not treated it can cause you to go into preterm labor. I had that happen with my first pregnancy but my dr. stopped it in time. But that is not always the case.
