urinary tract infection?

[mamabowling]

Has anyone got a urinary tract infection during pregnancy?  Was it uncomfortable and a little painful at times? once treated did the uncomfortablness go away?  I think I have one I have a drs appt in 4 days is it safe to wait until then? Ugggghhh what I get for so much sleep and baby laying on my bladder :0

Dont wait & hit the er. Why would the doctor even wanna make you wait smh. Get checked.

Don't wait 4 days !!!! I did that and ended up in the hospital for 4 days with a kidney infection

Why dont you just call your drs office or the weekend on call dr and have then send yoh a prescription to your pharmacy? A uti can turn into a kidney infection in a matter of hours and after that if left untreated long enough can become an infection in the blood that causes miscarriages. Utis are no joke and cranberry juice is no guarantee to help.

Don't worry. Uti is very common during pregnancy.  It will not harm your baby unless you leave it untreated because it can progress to kidney infection. I would recommend you to drink cranberry without apples and sugar, which is more acidic

Ive been doing cran-apple for days now I'm hoping thats all it is a little worried but I worry a lot about my baby

Try to drink cranberry juice as much as possible, it may help. Acidity of cranberry can kill that bacteria in bladder on early stages
