to think the DR's system is shocking

[cj1234567]

So called the doctors as have a suspected UTI. I'm around 5 1/2 weeks pregnant.

Dr called me back about 4 hours later and went over my symptoms which was peeing more frequently and a little back ache time to time. Nothing major though. Which I guess could also be symptoms of early pregnancy.

Instantly prescribe me antibiotics over the phone without asking for a urine sample to test.

Now usually I wouldn't be to bothered and probably wouldn't have called them if I wasn't pregnant and just waited it out to see how the symptoms developed but since having two losses this year with the last one also having a UTI I'm a little bit worried and feel like this hasn't put my mind at ease at all.

So can I just take the antibiotics and be ok even if I haven't got a UTI ??? obviously I'm just super anxious at the moment as well which doesn't help.

Hi. Yeah I've seen that but there is other less favourable information out there too and it's hard to know what to believe. I'm such a worrier too :-/

@Snowball7 it's understandable to be worried I was in the same position.

For me I weighed it up as either take the antibiotics to clear the UTI or risk it getting worse and causing complications.

The dr prescribed them and when I went to EPU the nurse said to get taking them so they have to be safe or they wouldn't prescribe them for pregnant women. I guess there is a risk with absolutely everything isn't there. Lots of other PP also took antibiotics in pregnancy which reassured me.

I also decided to take them as I miscarried at 6 weeks in June and had a UTI then so tbh I just wanted it to clear ASAP. I am sure the UTI didn't cause the miscarriage it was just a awful time and brought back the memories.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for your comments and for understanding.
