I just wasn't anticipating that OTC test to be positive. I mean, we saw the heartbeat, baby's fine, just not the bladder near it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-48053 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:48:44 +0000 tequiero21 48053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascadecherub: good luck with everything! don't stress! i think stress is more harmful than the uti! (i don't know, i'm not a doctor lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-48051 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:47:20 +0000 cascademom 48051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I haven't had my 8 week appointment yet. I went in on Wednesday with some spotting. They did a trans vag of the baby. It's got a heartbeat which is good. I just don't know how long I've had this UTI. I want it treated to protect my baby to be. What's crazy is that I'm drinking tons of water to begin with, so things are being flushed from my system regularly. I just want a healthy growing baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-48043 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:37:12 +0000 tequiero21 48043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did/do UTI tests at every appointment - i'm surprised they haven't tested for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-48023 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:15:57 +0000 MrsLMA 48023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had multiple UTI's when she was preggo with me and my sister- like one or two every month of pregnancy. There are most definitely ways to clear them up while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-48017 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:06:31 +0000 winniebee 48017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rock n Roll: I think there are other pregnancy safe antibiotics that you can take - I took ammoxacillin for my supposed UTI (even though I always take macrobid whenever I get a UTI - I used to get them in college...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-48015 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:03:09 +0000 Rock n Roll 48015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one at the beginning of my first pregnancy and this one. I had lots of symptoms and knew immediately. Took macrobid and it was gone in a few days. But those are the only UTIs I've ever had, and they never recurred during pregnancy. </p> <p>I know they want you to get treated ASAP to prevent you from getting a kidney infection, which is a much more serious risk during pregnancy, but I also know you can't take macrobid late in pregnancy, so I'm not sure what they do if you have them later. (Obviously not an issue for you, but I know you asked about it above.) Maybe someone has had a late pregnancy one who can shed some light on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-47984 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:25:06 +0000 winniebee 47984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I supposedly had one in early pregnancy, but had no symptoms. We suspected that I had bacteria in my urine because I didn't do my urine catch correctly, but they put me on a 10 day course of antibiotics anyways. If you do suspect one, get in to see your doctor. It's not going to harm your baby unless it goes untreated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-47982 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:20:17 +0000 cascademom 47982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I really don't have pain, but urine looked off. It was my first tip off. It's darker and a little cloudy. I did one of those OTC tests which looks pretty positive. I'm hoping that this is the only one of the pregnancy. Since I saw the heartbeat, I'm hoping that baby's a-okay in there despite this. I just want my doctor to call me back!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-47979 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:15:03 +0000 chopsuey 47979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a UTI right before I got pregnant. It was my first an only. Usually UTIs need to be treated with meds, no? All I remember is having some bleeding and lots of pain when I went pee. Terrible.<br /> Hope it gets taken care of soon! and Hope your little baby grows healthy too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-and-early-pregnancy#post-47978 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:12:10 +0000 cascademom 47978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I'm only 7 weeks pregnant. I saw the heartbeat the other day when I had a spot of blood. I've suspected that I have a UTI for awhile. It wasn't addressed on Wednesday when I saw the heartbeat. I'm hoping that everything's okay with the baby. I just want to clear this up and have my little watermelon seed grow into a beautiful baby. I'm not sure if my nausea is baby or UTI related at this point either!</p> <p>I'm waiting for my doctor to call me back, so I can do something about this. I want to email her the picture of the test even to prove that I'm not crazy!!</p> <p>How many of you have gotten UTIs while pregnant? Were they early on or later? Were they recurrent throughout the pregnancy? </p>
