Does anybody have UTI

[independent93]

I was told I have a bad uti problem and it went to my kidneys.  :( I'm 37 weeks and I'm very scared.  They put me on antibotics to get rid of it.  But they ask me if I was getting pressure down there and hard to walk.  I told them yes but my Dr told me it was normal so come to find out this whole time I had a bad UTI which shot straight to my kidney and effected it.  Has anyone experience this?

I was gonna mention inducing me a little early too because I can't handle this pain anymore. Everytime I have to pee, even a little, I can't move. This is my first pregnancy so I just believed them when they said it's normal but obviously it's not.

So I agree bring it up to yo ur drs again.  We have every right to b concern

[independent93]

Yeah I said the same thing as well.  I'm like 4 weeks away from my due date.  But with these pain I'm gonna ask to be induced.. we shouldn't have to go through thses pain if the drs we're doing there job. My drs always says it's normal it's part of pregnancy.  I tell him no it doesn't feel right.  This is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm in pain.

I've been telling them something's not right for an entire week! I'm gonna raise this issue to them at my next appointment because it's an awful feeling. And I'm only 2 weeks away from my due date.

[independent93]

See I'm glad I'm not the only one. Like I feel they could have found the problem sooner but they didn't wanna look more into because I feel they was being lazy..  it hard for to walk and all.  I walk like a damn old lady

[bjm_1125]

I feel the same exact way and they keep telling me it's nothing. And I have protein and leukocytes in my urine. When I have to pee, my whole body like keels over and I can barely walk and I get the pressure really bad too

[independent93]

Thank you so much.  Will drink plenty of water!  Can I still have my baby vaginal or would it effect my kidneys?

I suffered from this during my first pregnancy. Breath hun it's ok... While you're on your medicine DO NOT EAT MEAT! It's high in protein and not good for you right now while your kidneys are infected Eat veggies, fruits, crackers, yogurt, cheese, basically anything but meat or high protein foods. Drink nothing except water and pure cranberry juice. Stick to drinking water throughout the rest of your pregnancy once you get better as well. You'll be fine just always keep yourself hydrated, get some rest, relax and always drink water. Once you get a kidney infection it's easy to get a Uti again. I learned this the hard way. Good luck and get well soon.
