So I'm 11 and a half weeks pregnant and I think I have a UTI. Thing is in away from home for another 6 days. What do I do? I'm scared that if I nothing it'll get worse an harm the baby. I don't know what to do... HELP!

UTIs are common during pregnancy. Try taking an alka seltzer, or a cranberry juice supplement. Drink loads of water too. If you're still feeling uncomfortable, contact your midwife who can do a test to confirm if you have a UTI or not. Don't leave it untreated if it progressively gets worse, a bladder infection will need more treatment and can be dangerous.

Don't worry they are so common! Lots if cranberry juice and water to flush it through. Can you have cymalon? Maybe ask at a local pharmacy what else you could take when pregnant. If awful there must be a local clinic/doctors you could get antibiotics from? Good luck!x

Go to urgent care. If you're away from home either look up online or call the local urgent care centre and they can guide you. Nhs website may help.

I am prone to uti's and a really helpful way is to but about a quarter cup bicarbonate soda in a warm bath and just soak. Avoid using soap down there until the infection is gone as it can cause irritation. Avoid fizzy drinks and caffeine as much as possible. And if you can as odd as it sounds, after a bath or shower use a hairdryer on cool to dry down there or dab dry. Hope it clears up soon.
