So I have been feeling fine since delivery three weeks ago. But all day today I have a burning feeling when I pee. Is this a UTI? I have never had one before.
I know I am holding it more the last couple days since R doesn't want to be put down.
I did look at myself with a mirror today and nothing looked weird to me. Which I wasn't expecting since it was the first time I saw myself PP.

Sounds like it could be a UTI. I'm prone to them, and when I get one, it hurts like crazy to pee and there's a constant urge to go but barely anything comes out. They are the worst! Antibiotics take care of them quickly though.
I hope you feel better!

Holding your pee will make u more likely to get UTI. I would call in to your doc and maybe they will just call a prescription in for you even if you can't get in to the office. You can buy an OTC test strips to see if you have a UTI too. Azo makes one, as well as OTC pain reliever (but that doesn't get rid of the infection).

I got two UTI's within the first 2 months postpartum. My doctor made me come into the office when DS was 4 wks so that was super annoying. When I got the second one a month later, I went to the Target clinic to avoid having to head to my doctor. I would recommend going to a clinic (Walgreens, CVS, Target) unless going to your doctor is super convenient.
