uti during pregnancy

[Kr_44]

Hi,

I’m having some pain when I pee, and I’m afraid it might be a UTI. I’m taking progesterone vaginally, and I’m worried that the discharge may have caused something. I’ll have to see a doctor to check, but I’m wondering if anyone has had a UTI while pregnant? I’m so scared of taking antibiotics during pregnancy😓

Hi lovely, I took D-mannose for a UTI when I was pregnant. The internet is awash with conflicting advice about its safety in pregnancy but after reading up I felt comfortable taking it. The only thing to be aware of is that it'll only work if e.coli is the bacteria that's causing the infection, so def worth seeing a doctor to determine what bacteria yours is. If it's something other than e.coli then the d-mannose won't do much xx

hello there! Apparently UTIs in pregnancy is very common. I had once random ant about 18 weeks. I just had a doctor to get the urine / blood tests to check this and ended up with an antibiotic course. But this medication was obviously suitable for pregnancy. It is much better to get treated than leaving as it could develop in a nasty thing! Do speak to your doctor, and don’t worry they won’t give you unsuitable drugs.

Get well soon xx

it’s really common and doctor will reassure you about the antibiotics if they are needed. Hope you feel better soon 🤗 xx
