Dear Mum's and Mum's to be,
I am 21 weeks pregnant and have had to have 3 lots of antibiotics for urine infections. They are really getting me down and stopping me from relaxing and enjoying the pregnancy. I pushed to see the obstetric team and have been advised they may want to start a daily antibiotic called cefalexin but this won't necessarily stop any new UTI but just reduce chances of it. Am also waiting for a scan. I think I am probably not emptying my bladder fully - besides drinking lots and sitting forwards on loo I don't know how else to help empty. Any experiences with daily antibiotics for UTI in pregnancy? Anyone had extra tests except kidney scans? Any tips for helping? Thank you! From one anxious me, xxx
