Following on from my last post a few days ago where I was feeling poorly. Still feeling much the same hot and cold, shivering, shakes, lower abdomen pain and lower back pain and the odd sensation of having to āpushā been so so scared. Rang my docs today who asked me to send a urine sample in tomorrow but I rang back saying I was feeling worse so I went straight down with a sample and saw a doc. He dipped checked and yes I have a urine infection, he is sending it off hospital to see what type of infection it is and make sure he has given my the correct antibiotics to match the infection.
I asked about the pregnancy, he was very matter of fact and basically said if I am going to miscarry I will he cant reassure me that I wont. The antibiotics he has given me he said the leaflet says ānot safe in pregnancyā he said it really means tail end of pregnancy not early but said we need to treat this infection regardless as if its untreated it wonāt be good! Catch 22 situation and I feel like absolute crap now š¢ Iāve been feeling like this for 3/4 days so in my head the damage is done and there is no way back from this.
Anyone else had a UTI this early on and been ok? I desperately need some reassurance. Luckily I have another early scan booked for Monday so I can see if babas ok then but I am going out of my mind with worry now about this infection and the antibiotics xx
I've never been pregnant before hun so I can't really advise, but I can tell you I have had a few UTis in my life I'm prone to them...one time I fell so ill within hours was rushed to hospital and put on a drip, turned out my UTI was so bad it had spread to my kidneys which is not good. But once on the drip of anti biotics for an hour or 2 I came right. I'm not trying to scare you, but leaving it untreated can be really bad. I hope everything will be ok with baby I'm sure it will and I hope you feel better soon xxx
Thanks for your reply. I have taken my first dose of antibiotics and will continue with them. The leaflet does say not suitable in ālateā pregnancy so that was enough for me to know theyāre safe!
I cant wait to get the next dose down me tomorrow now so I can start shifting it properly.
So worried about little baba. Roll on Monday for my second early scan, need to know everythingās ok with having had this for 3/4 days now without me realising xxx
