Hi
I remember reading on here a while ago about a couple of people that felt a 'tightening' around their bladder when going to the toilet and it was pretty much determined that they will have a UTI. I keep getting this, and achey pain around my kidney area. I can be quite uncomfortable sometimes. This has been going on for about 6 weeks or so now (I am 26+3). I am quite prone to UTIs so I went to see my GP, but he said the sample was clear, and it could just be ligament pain, however, this doesn't feel like ligament pain to me, its more of an ache. Even though the GP tells me the sample is clear, I wouldn't be suprised if I do have a UTI- I am just worried about letting it drag on. I am due to see the midwife on Friday- does that little dip test thing they do pick up UTIs? Or should I insist that she sends the sample off? If it isnt a UTI, what could it be? The tightening after going to the toilet is quite strong, but I dont know if this is normal?!? If anyone could help that would be great!! Thanks!
