Urinary Tract Infection?
If you had a UTI while you were pregnant, what were your symptoms like?
Thanks!

Re: Urinary Tract Infection?
My friends who have had UTIs while pregnant have actually had no symptoms. They didn't know they even had an infection until their check-ups when they had to pee in a cup. We're talking several women here, too! Which is weird (and I guess nice for them), because I've had three UTIs before getting pregnant, and the pain while urinating was so excruciating, I actually shed tears a few times. Then in between trips to the bathroom, it was a dull, constant ache in my lower abdomen.

Re: Urinary Tract Infection?
My only symptom was when I wound up in the ER with vaginal bleeding. They think the bacteria irritated my cervix.

Re: Urinary Tract Infection?
I was peeing constantly (even more than my usual) and it burned. I was peeing what looked like blood.
They gave me macobid, and it cleared it up in a few days.

Re: Urinary Tract Infection?
I had no real symptoms except back pain. I even went for a massage, which worsened the pain when it usually makes it better. Turns out, upon dipping the stick, the doc told me I had a RAGING UTI. I was shocked. It caused contractions and shortened cervix . That's why it's so important to make sure it's not a uti, imo.

Re: Urinary Tract Infection?
I have had a couple, one felt like normal UTI symptoms...burning...frequency....another felt like abdominal cramps with some burning and one i didnt even know i had, my routine urine came back with extra blood in it and they sent it for culture and was positive for UTI.

Re: Urinary Tract Infection?
i kept on going to the bathroom at 4 wks and thought it was just being pregnant until the dr. tested the pee in a cup and said i had a UTI. the funny thing is i've had plenty of UTI's before but they hurt when i pee'd. this time around, it didn't hurt at all... but she put me on nitrofuran antibiotics which are supposedly safe to take during pregnancy.
