UTI/KIDNEY INFECTION SYMPTOMS?

[sum04]

Can anyone please tell me what symptoms they had with a Uti and/or a kidney infection?

If you think you've got a UTI you need to get it checked out asap as it can be dangerous in pregnancy.

You can check lists of symptoms on NHS direct website etc (pain on weeing, frequent weeing, etc) but I'm guessing you've already got some symptoms or you wouldn't be asking?

I had a recurring UTI for over a month when I was pg and it was fairly symptomless (compared to when I'd had cystitis before and had been excruciatingly painful). TBH I'm not sure I would have known if it hadn't been picked up on a routine urine sample.

Get it checked out.

I empathise - I have had 2 bouts of cystitis and am only 15 weeks pregnant - I would advise seeing your doctor when you can x

UTI I had bad pain in middle lower belly, needed to wee all the time. Book an emergency appointment with your doctor, ideally same day.

Urinary tract discomfort, not really pain or burning, but a "have to go" feeling.

Followed in two days by cloudy urine and a vegetal smell. Very different then asparagus smell, but in the same class. My diet hadn't changed.

An urge to wee..but when go to the loo..you can't. It will also burn like hell when you do pee.

Having had several kidney infections in the past and ended up in hospital..please please get to a GP first thing tomorrow.

And drink lots and lots of water you need to try and flush your system out it will also make peeing (when you do go..mmm easier)

Also worth remembering after having sex (when your feeling better of course) to go for a pee. This helps clear away the bacteria and help prevent the germs from getting into the urinary tract and traveling to the bladder...wish I'd know about this when having UTI problems.

I didn't have many symptoms at all (apart from needing to wee all the time but apparently that's normal in pregnancy anyway). It was picked up from a routine sample and it hasn't gone away despite taking 3 different lots of medication and drinking lots of water. Definitely speak to a doctor if you're concerned as it really shouldn't be left untreated.
