Water infections

Hey ,
Does anybody else struggle with water infections since getting pregnant? I’m drinking plenty of water and cut a lot of junk food out my diet. My doctor is useless just keeps prescribing me antibiotics ( which I’m thankful for but would rather find a solution than taking pills constantly 🤦🏻‍♀️)
I don’t have a partner either so I’m not sexually active and I wash my self with water after the toilet so I’m really struggling to find the issue xx

I would speak to your midwife. I didn't struggle with this, but I've heard it from others. I think it's the change in hormone levels can make some people more prone to them.

I had a water infection and the doctor said that soap or shower gel can cause it to show up as a water infection as the ph level changes

Have you been tested for GD?
It might also be worth asking for a urine culture if they haven't done one already x
