Urinary Tract Infection - any experiences?
Hiya
I'm almost 11 weeks and just had a call from the doctor as the urine test I did at my booking in appt last week has shown a UTI. I'm quite surprised as had no symptoms at all, apart from usual nausea.
Doc was reassuring and said it won't harm the baby but is important to get it treated for the sake of me mainly, although if untreated it can cause problems.
So upshot is a week of antibitoics but I'm still a bit worried. Doc didn't mention anything about testing to see whether it has cleared up after the course of antibiotics - will I need another urine test?
Has anyone else experienced UTI during pregnancy and what was the outcome? Any guidance would be appreciated just to help put my mind at rest.
Thank you
