oh you poor thing, I had that with both my pgs, took the anti biotic stating with "T".

Top tip, if you can bear it, is not to wipe your undercarriage when you pee, but drip dry. That way you aren't wiping any bacteria near your uretha, even if you go front to back. Also drink a carton, litre carton, of cranberry juice a day, it really does stop the uti bugs from getting a grip in your bladder.

i am very prone to UTIs as i have a kidney abnormality. now i'm pregnant i've already had one and that didn't clear up with anti-biotics.
the usual advice given to me is: drink lots, go to the loo before and after sex, wipe front to back, cranberry juice and rosehip tea help, make sure you empty your bladder fully.
