Was looking for some advice as I had what seemed like a UTI from Wednesday but by Friday I was fine. Then Friday night came and I started to get terrible throbbing in both my kidney was sweating and just couldn’t sleep. I then was tired as soon as I woke up and went back to bed by 09:30. By 13:00 I was violently shivering and then I started being sick... I felt a bit better after I was sick. Then when I got in bed it started again so at 5am I called 111 and went to medocc.
They tested my urine and said I was very dry and there was a lot of blood in it and I need to drink more water. I told them I had drunk nearly 2 litres since about midnight as I’m very dehydrated and have a terrible headache.
She then asked if I have a temperature and I said I’ve been going hot and cold but I’m not sure as I couldn’t find my thermometer. She didn’t check my temp.
So she said she was give antibiotics for a UTI and said off my sample and I would need to check with my GP for my results and then we will know if I’m on the right antibiotics.
Now I’m not usually a worrier but this pregnancy I have had a lot of UTI’s and pre pregnancy I had a kidney infection.
Now to me this seems way too severe to be a UTI and I know how dangerous kidney infections are when pregnant.
Has anyone had a UTI of this severity before or should I be asking for another appointment as I’m quite worried.
I’ve been sick again today and slept most of the day, I can hardly lift my head off the pillow and it’s very painful to move with the kidney pain.
