Suspected water infection. Triage or no

Hey ladies.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and I took a dip stick and these were the results. Main thing I'm concerned about is the blood, nitrates, leukoztyes and glucose. I'm having my gestational diabetes test in 4 weeks. Should I pop into the triage?

I presume you have UTI symptoms if you did the test?

Yes, you should get it treated - whether that be GP appointment, via your midwife or whatever route you have.

Hi sorry no advice but where did you purchase these strips? Thank you

Not triage, usually, but your midwife or GP.

Sorry, what does "pop into the triage" mean? It's not a saying I'm familiar with in England.

I think the bought the strips off either eBay or Amazon.

To be fair the only reason I was checking was because I'm at risk of pre-eclampsia so I was looking at my protein.

The only symptom I have is peeing alot, which I put down to pregnancy? X

I'd go see your GP.

I've rang my doctors, and have my midwife giving me a ring this afternoon. Thanks for the advice ladies x

Hey, you should go to your maternity assssement unit, they can send off a sample to the lab to see how bad the uti is, you may need antibiotics! Good luck x
