Aching after uh um self pleasures [blush] , advice please.

[worriedtum]

Ive changed my name cos Im quite embarresed to say,and I hope to god I dont a) get found out or b)forget my changed name!!! but Ive sort of you know with myself yesterday afternoon as dh and I havent had sex since I got pg 14wksago and weirdly have been feeling quite randy!!!!!. Thing is since orgasm Ive had to go to the loo to pass water over and over all yesterday afternoon and also have a worrying cramp below the bump right accross and my back aches too. I still have it this morning and its really worrying me. I'm not sure if it would have been this way anyway , as have history of back problems from last pg.

Im not assigned to a midwife team yet and would have to go to gp for advice. Any midwives around today ?

ooooh gawd cant believe Im posting this .

I'm sure they can find you some antibiotics that will be ok. It is improtant to get it cleared up, you really don't want a pelvic type infection while pregnant.

I think you are feeling far too guilty about your little session, but it is quite common for cystitis to be caused by sex or masturbation. It can just be the friction and so on that inflames the passages of the urethra, or perhaps some unwelcome bacteria were introduced by your hand or whatever - it doesn't mean you did anything wrong, the area is very sensitive and has a delicate balance of bacteria.

I am pretty sure I got cystitis and thrush in a double whammy at about this point in my pregnancy! There are a lot of changes in your body at the moment and problems are very common. Hope you feel better soon.

Well you were all correct , I have UTI and been prescribed some anti'b. Glad I caught it quick , think it may have been coming on for a few days and I uh um progressed symptoms on a bit further! Thankyou for helping me , I just didnt click at all at first.

That's really good news (that you've sorted it out, not that you have a UTI!) - hope it feels better soon.

uti infections are very common in pregnancy, even in the early days. it's due to your expanding womb stretching everything out of the way and this includes the tubes that take your urine from your kidneys to your bladder. they get kinks in them and urine can stay in the kinks and get infected. that's why you must drink plenty of fluids in pregnancy and cranberry juice is another way of helping to clean your system out. it is very common and that's why mw's always check your urine when you visit.
