No More Symptoms. Worried!!!

[sg10]

I had very less symptoms to being with. I had around 5 scans. Have heard hb for past 4 scans. But this week 10th week I dont have any symptoms. Ordered doppler yday waiting for it to hear hb..... I feel a bit worried thou. Have cramping once in a while prob is from gas.

Got call from docs office today. Have some urine infection he has give me tablets. How serious is urine infection?

I am taking cephalexin. I am not sure which infection they found out bcos my doc called up to change my medication. All my frnds took antibiotic during there initial pregnancy. Last week was 10th week I had no symptoms. today is 11w3d from yday I have nausea and dry cough.

I'm so glad I came across this forum. I am almost 8 weeks pregnant and all of my symptoms have gone away except that I'm extremely tired :(. I was thinking something was wrong, but it's comforting to hear that it's normal for the symptoms to fade. Thanks for sharing ladies!

How are your symptoms? Do you have them? I think its end of your trimester so its gone now. you can relax and enjoy :-)
how are you doing?

which antibiotics you'r taking? I am taking ampicillin. I was concern because I read mostly women are screened for strep B later in the pregnancy and so get treated later not so early. But now I  know its not always true :-)
Thanks

I am taking antibiotics. My doc said its nt harmful. Most of my frnds have taken it during pregnancy. I have also started drinking fluids water and coconut water(natural)

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have started taking the antibiotics. hopefully things will be fine with me and my baby.

yes a lot of women have to take antibiotics early. I had to start antibiotics in week 4. Your doc would not prescribe it if it weren't safe. the good out weighs the bad. Infection can cause issues early on so it's best to get rid of any infection. hope this helps

Hi sg10,

Dont worry about symptoms, I have heard from my OB they come and go away time to time and in case since you are almost at the end of first trimester its possible they are fading away. I am seven weeks pregnant and at week 6 my symptoms were gone and came back again after some time. So dont worry. Do you know which infection you have gotten in your urine? and what medicine they gave you? Antibiotics? I have gotten Strep B infection this early and have been taking ampicillin. I hope its fine to take this early. Has any of you have heard some one taking antibiotics this early? Thanks

stephrox13 is right you really have to drink a lot of fluid. i have problems drinking water but the carbonated water helps. try your best to stay away from soda.

You sound just like me.  I am just starting my tenth week and feel like my symptoms  are going.  Still have a little nausea, but not like it was.  Bbs are getting less sore also!  I just ordered a dopplar last night!!!  Hang in there.  I think we tend to overanalyze everything because we want this so bad!

Take the pills & drink lots of water & Cranberry juice. If u don't drink lots of fluid u will continue to get UTIs. Add a powder packet to your water to give u some flavor.

I am not a great water drinker.  Iam trying to drink water. I keep worring abt infection. :(

What symptoms disappeared? Most symptoms do go away in the second month. Like the morning sickness, dizziness, and headaches. Some women never have symptoms or very little and then others can keep them the entire pregnancy. If you are continuing to hear the heartbeat on scans don't worry so much.
The infection part isn't a big deal unless left untreated. It can cause miscarriage if it isn't taken care of. I just got over one and best advice i have is take all the pills and drink cranberry or crangrape juice and as much water as you can stand. Once the pills are done ask the doc to check again to make sure the infection is completely gone. best wishes.
