UTI's

[kayleebug13]

Has anyone had UTI'S all throughout pregancy? Just finished antibiotics and found our that I still have one when I went to the ER last night! Hope the medicine they give me finally makes it go away.

I have. Drink lots of water and rey cranberry juice. Ask your doctor about cranberry pills. Stay away from soda and caffeine. Always go to the bathroom right away, don't hold it

Yep. I just found out I have one and just got antibiotics, today. The pain has been brutal over the past couple of weeks, but I was sure my urine was clean because I had it checked about 3 weeks ago and doc put me on Macrobid. Today she put me on Keflex, which I guess is more narrow spectrum for E. Coli. I hate utis! They are very debilitating for me. Anyway, take care.

I had a UTI when I was 28 weeks and it turned into a kidney infection and caused the baby's heart rate to go down. Nothing to mess with especially when pregnant. Hope you get it taken care of and yes they check it through your urine and when hospitalized fir it they check it every time you pee to make sure its clearing up and its not cloudy or dark in color as well

When I went to the doctor on the 27th she checked my urine and did not say anything, went to the ER last night (30th) and they said I had one so I am guessing it doesn't which I always thought that's  why they checked your urine. I know they check it with the strip but when you actually go for bloodwork and so forth that look at it under a microscope.
Doc said last night that UTI'S can be dangerous to the baby so hoping what they gave me last night and the pills I have now wipe it out.

Does the UTI shows up in the pee test u give to the doc ?

I have and it caused me to go into labor at 25 weeks. Just keep it under control because I didn't know I had one and it got awful.

I had one but it went away with the meds the dr gave me. Havent had one since. The dr told me to make sure i drink at least 10 glasses of water a day minimum to help keep it away
