UTI or Baby's position?

[rachyryan]

Hi all, just needing a wee bit of advice. I cant stop peeing lol I know this is common but i am just not sure if i should go and get checked, sometimes i feel as if it stings and am back in the loo within 5 mins and sometimes i feel ok. Been getting some odd pains here and there too. I have drank 2l of cranberry juice in the last 24 hours. I am just worried about wasting the gp's time which is silly i know any advice please?

I've not had any pains but I pee all the time and its actually getting me down quite a bit, I had a regular sized cup of tea this morning and 10x i had to go pee, and I was bursting each time, that was within the space of an hour and a half, i'm like this constantly, its a nightmare.

it sounds like a urine infection go to your docs at no point should you sting and cranberry juice can only do so much. Put yur mind at rest... (I drive myself mad as my main thing at the moment is GO TO THE DOCS...how boring am i ha ha)

If you're worried, go to the GP. That's what they're there for, after all! Always better to get checked out and be told it is nothing than to suffer in silence and leave things until they have really got out of hand!

 

[rachyryan]

thanks, i will go to the gp tomorrow just to be sure. i'm such a scaredy tbh. just need a wee bit of a push that i am not been overly anxious when it's quite normal to be peeing so much at this stage

Yeah get it checked as Uti left untreated can go to kidneys and be quite nasty! So best just to check and you will feel better x

Hi all, I don't feel any better this morning. Been awake since 6am with tummy pains in the right hand side, tummy feels a wee bit crampy too. Baby has been moving around a lot so it can't be baby's position. Gonna phone docs at half 8 hope I get an early appointment I feel yucky. My work are gonna love me for phoning in sick lol

 

[Geminiblue]

Oh lovey hope you feel better soon. Your doing the right thing keep us posted hey xxx

 

[rachyryan]

Thanks got an appointment at half 9, feel really rotten today now think i might have a temp and my head hurts too. I am just feeling sorry for myself lol

 

[Susanne]

How did it go at your appointment? Hope they were able to give you something to make you feel better!

 

[rachyryan]

Well it's definately a UTI showed up positive right away. Got antibiotics so hopefully they will kick in shortly. It was a nurse i saw, she didnt check the baby at all and i have been getting a lot of pains if this doesnt get any better over the next 24 hours i will call midwife for reassurance. I feel shocking though. Really sore head, upset tummy which that with the uti could explain the pains. Work aren't too impressed but through this whole pregnancy i have only had 1 day off sick cause the morning sickness was so bad so i'm not gonna stress over them.

 

[Susanne]

They can get lost, you have every right to take a day off sick if you are sick! I hope the antibiotics help soon. Just try and get as much rest as possible. The crampy pains are quite normal for a UTI from what I've heard, I'm sure your baby is ok!

 

[rachyryan]

Thanks Susanne and everyone for your advice. and your right susanne i'm not gonna worry about it they can get lost! hope these tablets kick in soon i'm scared to pee lol

 

[Lilmoomin]
