I had an asymptomatic UTI outside of pregnancy and found out after a routine doctor's visit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-in-pregnancy#post-2423535 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 14:52:11 +0000 brownepiano 2423535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to think I had a UTI but turns out I was just dehydrated. I drank a ton of water and took cranberry pills and the symptoms went away. It's hard 'cause with pregnancy weird pain and peeing a lot is normal. I would up your water intake and call your doctor as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-in-pregnancy#post-2423506 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 14:28:08 +0000 KT326 2423506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call just in case. You don't want it to lead to a kidney infection! I had a UTI (not during pregnancy) and didn't know it that led to a kidney infection. It was a horrible experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-in-pregnancy#post-2423494 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 14:22:02 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2423494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: I had a UTI early in my pregnancy, I was 6 or 7 weeks (I think? lol) and my symptoms were exactly like a UTI outside of pregnancy. But, I know that's not always the case. I'd call your doctor just to check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-in-pregnancy#post-2422980 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 06:34:45 +0000 Nutella 2422980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a UTI in the early weeks but only found out through a urine test (I think?) - the midwife called me to tell me that because there are no symptoms of UTI in pregnancy it's often missed. So I went on antibiotics in the first tri which was unexpected but was all good in the end. It was weird not feeling the typical sensations of needing to pee etc. I would not have known had I not done the test. I can only remember it being blood tests at that time, but must hVe been a urine test to pick this up!</p> <p>Hope you get yours sorted if that's what it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uti-in-pregnancy#post-2422955 Fri, 15 Jan 2016 04:23:28 +0000 Applesandbananas 2422955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Were your UTI symptoms different during pregnancy?</p> <p>I've had this burning feeling in my lower abdomen on and off, it's not painful, just there sometimes. At first, I was chalking it up to weird cramps, things stretching, etc. (6w) but I decided to google and a lot of people said they'd been diagnosed with a UTI with that symptom, through the routine UTI test their doctor does at each visit. </p> <p>Outside of pregnancy, a UTI has always felt to me like a constantly urge to pee, but not being able to, or not being able to enough, but that hasn't been an issue. There's frequently an urge, but I chalked that up to first tri symptoms. I've been really thirsty too, which I also chalked up to first tri. </p> <p>Any insight? My first appt isn't until 2/5 and the only real symptom is that on and off burning (noticeable but not painful) feeling and frequent urge to pee. </p>
