Hello,

I had a uti which was diagnosed last week. I have just had the results through today is this within normal range? I have horrendous anxiety and I’m really struggling.

thank you.

I can't answer if it's normal but I will say every midwife appointment I've had there's been something in my urine, including protein and I had pre eclampsia in my previous pregnancy. There's always a lot of fuss online about what is alarming and what isn't and I find the reality is that most of the time the doctors and midwives really play it down. I know it's hard but just be aware if you're blood pressures ok and they haven't called you then you're more than likely absolutely fine. I know it's hard but rest resilience is key in pregnancy as the level of treatment from midwives and doctors isn't always what we expect.

Yes these are normal results. The amount of protein is a trace amount which is fine, and creatinine is supposed to be in urine- and you have a normal amount.
Sorry to hear your anxiety is bad, i understand from my own experience how awful it is when it takes hold. Try and speak to your midwife or GP for more support- I know it is often hard to access them but worth doing so the anxiety you're experiencing now doesn't get worse when baby arrives. Wishing you all the best x
