Recurring UTIs

[silvachick]

This is me on my 3rd (now a kidney infection) in as many weeks. I am worried about going on anti-biotics so often. Are any other ladies in the same boat? My body pretty much feels as though it's had a good kicking. Sorry for the moan.

Hmmmm. Not fun. I had a kidney infection when my dd was about four months old and it knocked me for six. I would suggest getting as much rest as possible, obs drink loads of fluids, no scented bath products or laundry stuff - for me both of these are hugely aggravating factors. Might be worth getting some of those probiotic drinks, I think they're ok in pregnancy? Eat lots of nourishing foods and just give your body time to recover. It might even be a case of getting signed off work (if this is relevant) too. Good luck with it all x

I feel for you. I had 3 before 20 weeks. I cut out all citrus fruit and tried to cut down on sugary foods as it helps bacteria breed ! Hope you feel bette soon

dont worry too much about the anti biotics, you need them and the baby will cope ok with them. UTIs are evil! Get fully well soon!
