water infections?

[confused gal]

hello

im 13wks pregnant and ive found out today that ive got another water infection the doctors call it a uti. this is my second in 3 wks. the doctor is testing my wee more throughly with a mid stream test to see exactly what type of infection ive got. so he hasn,t given me any antibiotics. has anybody else sufferd with this in there pregnancys? does anybody know what causes it and if it affects the baby?

thank you xx

I had one at 17 weeks and again the doctors didnt treat me with anti biotics straight away. The delay with me was that at first they suspected it was my appendix, then after they decided it wasnt, they wanted a sample of me and I just couldnt go! lol They waited four hours for a little drop! Make sure you drink lots and look after yourself as I ended up in hospital on a drip!
It wasnt explained to me what had caused it but it didnt affect baby at all.
Hope you feel better soon :)

I've recently been on antibiotics for the same thing. It wont harm your baby and its much more important to make sure any infection you have is cleared up asap.
With the amount of trauma your body has to go through down there just to carry a baby its not surprising we end up with these things.
Dont worry, just drink lots of water and try to eat as healthy as poss.

i suffered with both mine, i had 7 water infections with my first. just keep flushing your system with water and try staying away from tea and coffee
