Finding it hard to cope and now have urine infection.

[Dee83]

Hi girls,

I am feeling really sad today. I have been really struggling with all day nausia for the last 4 weeks and it's showing no sign of easing yet. I have got MS (Multiple Sclerosis) which i find quite hard to deal with most of the time but i have found that alot of my symptoms have been quite bad recently too - i think it must be the stress of feeling constantly ill.

Anyway, i was just told yesterday that i have a Urine Infection and been put on anti-biotics. I have been told that they are quite common in pregnancy?? I am upset about having to take anti-biotics but the doctor said that it is more dangerous, for the baby, for me to not take them and not treat the infection.

Has anyone else had a urine infection whilst pregnant? The anti-biotics i have got are called KEFLAX and i have been told they are the most used ones for women in the first trimester.

Sorry to moan but i just needed to vent!

Thanks,

Dee xx

Big hugs hun! Sorry ur feeling down! I had a urine infection 2 weeks ago it is very common and once I had antibiotics I felt better pretty quickly. Make sure u drink plenty of water to flush ur system and also cranberry juice!
Take it easy and have lots of nice baths and altho it can be horrendous when symtpoms are bad remember it is alk a good sign that baby is growing strong x

Hope you feel better darlin, it'll all be worth it and symptoms should hopefully start to fade in tri2. Just try and get lots of r&r and drink plenty of fluids, don't overdo anything, make your excuses and put your feet up Xx

i had regular urine infections (due to me being so ill and lod bloods was generally weak) and had morning sickness the WHOLE 9 months day AND night :/ my constant anti biotics (easily had 20thruout preg) caused severe thrush, was a disaster from beginngin to end!! i did get cyclizine tabs from doc to help food stay down which did help.....

as for having a shit preg i think women either have a good / rough preg all i can say is honestly its worth every second!!!! so just do ur countdown till ur outta tri and keep working towards the end!! hope ur ms doesnt play up too much xxx

Hi Dee83. I am prone to urine infections and have been since before my teens, i got into a routine of drinking at least 2ltrs of water a day plus juice etc... ive had a couple of water infections since finding out i am pregnant and as much as i hate taking anti-biotics i jumped at the chance after the doctor explained its better for the baby just to get rid of the water infection rather than try and let your body flush it out. I think im going to have to go back as i feel another one starting
I hope you feel better soon! it will all be worth it for you in 29weeks :-D xx

Hi hun, just wanted to say how brave you are to do all this with MS, I think we're all going to get complications at one point or another, hopefully you are getting all yours out the way now! x

Totally feel for you as I've been suffering from one for over a week now, first lot of antibiotics didn't work for me and it turned into kidney stones, I thought I was in labour! I was in hospital last Thursday but at least the baby is ok. My new antibiotics seem to be working now, all I would say is drink, drink and drink some more. I'm really scared of them comming back!
