Recurring UTI

Im almost 19 weeks pregnant and never had a uti unit I became pregnant. Now it seems like I'm getting one every month. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm scared about taking all the antibiotics

firsttimemommy is right. I had 2 kidney infections with my first pregnancy. My only symptom was back pain. I didn't even know I had a UTI that had gotten worse. With this pregnancy, My doctor wanted me to be on antibiotics the entire pregnancy just because kidney infections are so serious and dangerous during pregnancy. Talk do you doctor about how the benefits outweigh the risks.

The antibiotics are safe and used in pregnancy all the time. It is totally ok. I had UTI  BV and yeast all at once and antibiotics cleared it up. You are ok but it is more dangerous not to treat than to take the meds.
