I have an appointment on Tuesday, I think I'm just going to wait until then. I don't for sure know if I have one and if I do I don't think 5 days will really do much

Normally you will have a strange smell to your urine an it will burn. If it turned into a kidney infection you will have extreme back pain in your lower right side that no matter what doesn't go away.

A UTI is a urinary tract infection. It will hurt with pressure when you urinate and eventually cause a burning sensation and a bit of pain and aching in your lower back (kidneys).

UTIs can cause early labor and you will lose the baby if you're not far enough along or you do not treat it early enough ): it's extremely sad. Even being a bit dehydrated can cause a UTI and can cause you to lose your baby. Get your antibiotics as soon as possible momma!

I had a UTI and took antibiotics for it.  My doctor wasn't overly concerned about it but said it had to be taken care of.  My antibiotics worked in 3 days.  I was on Microbid which can only be taken during 2nd trimester and not after 32 weeks pregnant.

I couldn't take the other antibiotic offered because I have a severe reaction to Penicillin.
