Thread: Please Help! Bladder Infection!

Hello all, thank you or all your posts and being patient with me as I just found out that I am pregnant. I go to the doctor tomorrow for my annual and a blood test to be sure.....

I have been prone to kidney/bladder/uti infections all my life. Since married, I have probably had 6 or more (I have been married just over a year) and had 3 of those in the past couple months. Now that I am pregnant, I am particularly concerned about it...throbbing in my lower abdomen, burning horrible on and off the stool, but it it better at this moment. I would ask my mom, etc. but we aren't saying anything about this baby until little further along and until we knwo 100% sure (after the blood test).

I can get some cranberry juice for now I guess, any other suggestions to relieve the pain and discomfort? My doctor's appt is tomorrow early evening...I just need some relief until then I guess.....Thank you in advance for your help!

I have had those in the past too. Ive been on antibiotics several times too for them. Being that im pregnant my doctor advised me from the beginning to go to the bathroom when i have to go, drink 8 glasses of water per day and yes cranberry juice also does help. Be sure to mention this to your prenatal doctor when you visit. goodluck!
