7 weeks pregnant - vvvvvv mild uti, what to do?

[sophynm]

Not entirely sure yet but think I might have a very mild UTI, it’s burning just a teeny tiny bit when I pee. Not sure whether it’s worth seeing a doctor over or just trying to flush it out of my system? What’s concerning me is I live in Europe and will be travelling to the UK this weekend; obviously my doctor is here where I live so if it gets worse I won’t be able to get any treatment for several days.
Any advice for what I should do? It’s so mild it’s the type of thing I’d normally ignore but I’m 7 weeks pregnant and also not sure at this point if it’s going to get worse.

Personally I would definitely get it looked at. Even a mild UTI when pregnant can be bad and your immune system is low and it could easily spread to your kidneys.

I would get checked and see if doctor suggests antibiotics before you go. I got lots of utis with my son, when I tried to leave one to flush out on its own it get severe, I woke up with extreme pain and peeing blood. I've never had a uti outside of pregnancy. I ended up having them more or less monthly and needing antibiotics to clear them

If your urine tests positive for bacteria, your midwife/GP will definitely prescribe antibiotics. It’s not fun but bacterial infections can lead to miscarriage or other complications from what I remember, so not to be messed with.
