What other concerns do you have about a urinary tract infection during your pregnancy?
Finding relief for the inflammation and discomfort that is safe.
@@Cordiallymichemarie Great question! Ask your provider if Pyridium is safe for you to use? It can be purchased over the counter under the product name AZO. It is very helpful with the pain and discomfort associated with a UTI. Also, drinking plenty of fluids helps dilute the bacteria and flush them out of your system faster.
Does U.T.I causes Skin problem during pregnancy?
@@vivienjannavalenzuela9330 Thanks for the question. UTIs do not usually cause skin problems during pregnancy. Instead, pregnancy can induce a variety of skin conditions including stretch marks, mask of pregnancy, linea nigra, and acne. These are usually caused by the hormones. PUPPPs is an itchy rash that usually happens towards the end of your pregnancy but must be diagnosed in person by a healthcare provider. There are a few other rarer skin conditions as well. If you were prescribed a medication for your UTI and you developed a skin condition, you need to contact your healthcare provider immediately. You may be having an allergic reaction to the medication. If you are unable to reach your provider, you should go to the nearest hospital to be checked out if you believe this is an allergic reaction.
What if you have a uti take 2 pills and then it goes away but find out your pregnant than you start seeing pink when you wipe until that pink turns into red kind of like a period but not as much? Can it still be the uti??
Hello I am 40 weeks pregnant and have UTI over 2 month. I was given medication that didn't help. I did all the right things. Drink alot of water etc. I did a urine culture it came back saying their is no bacteria that is causing the UTI. Everything was negative except the UTI bt no specific bacteria. I am now on Augmentin and praying that it helps. I would really want to know if this will affect my baby by causing any birth defects. I am so sad right now.
Thanks for asking. I am so sorry you feel sad. You are doing the best thing for your baby by treating your UTI. Taking an antibiotic at 40 weeks should not cause birth defects. Birth defects usually develop in the first trimester. Its really important for you and baby that you remain as healthy as possible. Taking antibiotics is part of that. Try to enjoy these last few days of your pregnancy. You will be meeting your baby soon! However, it is ok to be sad. I'm sure this has been scary and overwhelming. Take care of yourself.
How's your baby ??? Now after course of antibiotics ????

D-mannose for prevention. Cranberry has NOT been disproven but drinking a ton of sugar will not help. The isolated molecule found in cranberry that helps is D-mannose. Essentially it makes the lining of the bladder and urethra more slippery so bacterial adhesion becomes difficult. Doesn’t work for everyone but can be good preventative. Also pee before and after sex.
Thanks so much for your comments!
Hello Doctor..
I am 8 weeks pregnant and I did urine and urine culture tests. It turned out that I have (UTI) caused by bacteria.. I was shocked because I had no symptoms at all.. the doctor prescriped antibiotic “Nitrofurantoin” for 7 days and recommend drinking plenty of water.. I have 2 questions:
1- What if it turned positive again after the medication? Really worried about my baby.
2- I had no symptoms, and still I don’t.. how is that possible? Does it mean it’s not risky?
Thank you so much
Thanks for asking! If you take the medication as prescribed, I doubt it will turn positive again right away. If you have a UTI without symptoms, it could be that the urine was contaminated. Therefore, it's sometimes prudent to recheck the urine sample to confirm. Good luck!
@@TheMaternityMentor Thank you so much for helping people out there! ❤️
I will redo my urine tests in the next few days after my medication.. Hope it’s cured already and never comes back again..
@@leenal-sayed9444 You're welcome! Good luck!
How's your UTI after nitrofurantoin? Did it treat?
I’m 29 weeks pregnant and have been having chills,fevers, frequently going to urinate small amounts of pee. Idk how everytime my doctor tested me nothing came up and today finally she called and said I had a UTI the pain on both sides of the hips plus sciatica pain I cried everyday
I am sorry you have been feeling so bad! Hopefully you dr has given you a medication to treat the infection. It's important to treat infections because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
Hi how are you doing? I'm 29 weeks pregnant and I had my prenatal visit on Monday 2/13/23 I was all ready felling with the constant to pee a lot and pain and like you know in every visit they test supostably for what ever is in the urine because they always ask for a urine example at ever prenatal visit and everything was ok so on Tuesday morning I was with pain Thursday 2/16/23 I had a lot of pain that I went to see a urgent care clinic and their they test my urine and it came out positive for UTI so I call my doctor and I told the receptionist about what was going on I told her that I had a UTI infection and that they prescribed me at the urgent care macaroni 100mg and I told the receptionist that the doctor from urgent care told me to let my obgy doctor what was going on. So I let the receptionist know that I was having pain and spotting and if I could get seen by the doctor for ultrasound to check everything is ok and the receptionist told me ho no we do not need to see you for a ultrasound neither for a UTI I was shok like what why?? So then I told her that if it was fine to take the antibiotics that the urgent care doctor prescribe and she's like I'll let your obgy doctor assistant to ask the doctor about tje antibiotics and it took 4 hour for the doctor assistant to contact me she told me that the doctor change the macrobid to Cefradoxil 500mg 1 capsule every 12 hours. And honestly I was expecting for the receptionist and for the assistance lady to tell me we'll come over so we can check you but no they didn't so I ended up in the hospital because I was feeling so bad with nausea and lot of pain they checked me and they said that I was having mild contractions so they wanted to check that it wasn't so to preterm labor so they checked with a swab to see if their was no delivery and thanks God it came out negative and they also told me that their was blood in my urine as well so they told me that the contractions were do to the UTI infection so they monitor my baby and baby's heart and movements were ok so I changed obgy doctor that same day hope to have an appointment with the new obgy doctor and pray to God that he takes good care. So right Now I'm still in some pain in my left side tummy abdomen and still with little contraction and little bit of spotting
I hope everything well well and you are all ok xx

Hi, I'm 6 weeks and have been prescribed MacroBID (nitrofurantoin) - I'm absolutely terrified to take them as I've read that they are not recommended? But I've also read that not treating UTIs can lead to miscarriage. I'm not particularly symptomatic- occasional stabby pain in the groin area, strong urine and urinating often. What is the best thing to do? 😭
Thanks for asking! Macrobid is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat UTI's because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage.

I have candida infections since 4rth month of pragnancy now i am 6th months i already have preterm labour i visit the doctor she recommended veginal ovoules after using this i have no discharge but my pelvis and back pain are increasing day b day kindly advise me
Thanks for asking! Vaginal suppositories are often used to treat yeast infections. This should help with discharge but back and pelvic pain are not good signs. You need to contact your healthcare provider and be evaluated as these can be continued signs of preterm labor. Good luck. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
Hello Doc, I am 27 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with UTI and I was given cipromeds are they safe to use?
Thanks for asking! Cipro meds are safe for use in pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. By 27 weeks pregnant, most of the risks have been eliminated. Cipro meds are very effective at treating a UTI. Make sure to take all the medication as prescribed and do not stop just because you feel better. This can make the infection come back worse.

Ma'am I have mild cramps in pelvis area and frequent urination.i am 26 the week pregnant..due to alarming covid situation I preferred to drink lots of water and wait for a day to see if my situation improves by water itself at home..and it is getting better...cramps is almost gone...should I still visit my doctor?
Thanks for the question! It's always recommended to go and see your doctor when you are cramping during pregnancy. Unfortunately, I am aware of the Covid situation making seeking treatment complicated in many parts of the world. Sometimes women will have cramping because they are dehydrated which can also contribute to getting a UTI. You should seek medical care immediately if the cramping gets worse, if you start bleeding or leaking, if your baby stops moving, or if you develop fever or other symptoms of infection. Keep yourself hydrated and use all the tips in the video. If you can call your doctor and speak to them over the phone, I think that is best. Good luck!
Hello I am around 11 weeks pregnant and urine culture came out I have E.coli. My doctor prescribed me Nitrofurantoin Monohyd 100MG Take 1 capsule twice daily. I am concerned about taking antibiotics at such an early stage in my pregnancy. Being the person I am I did a little research according to CDC website states Nitrofurantoin can cause birth defects so I am even more concerned now and don't even feel like taking this antibiotic. Since I don't have any symptoms, I was thinking of treating this the holistic way and taking ginger tea, drinking lots of water and cranberry juice with no added sugar.I don't like the idea of this type of antibiotic. Is it safe for me to take this antibiotic?
Thank you!
Thanks for asking! Nitrofurantoin is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat UTI's because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. There is a lot of negative information about this medication on the internet but there are a lot of studies showing its safety profile. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
Hi mam’ 🌸 is Austell-Ciprofloxacin a harmful antibiotic during early pregnancy before missed period ?
Thanks for asking. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. There are some risks of taking these during the first trimester. You need to take a pregnancy test AND go back to your provider to evaluate if another antibiotic can be used. I cannot stress this enough, if you were prescribed an antibiotic for a UTI, you need to treat the UTI. Untreated you can become septic and have a miscarriage. However, there may be other antibiotics that can be used.
Hey Doctor is ciprofloxacin 500g safe for treating UTI infection in pregnancy?
Thanks for asking! Ciprofloxacin as limited safety data for use during pregnancy. If another antibiotic can be used, it should be tried first. Ask your healthcare provider, why they chose that antibiotic. If your urine culture showed that was the best choice, that is a good reason to use it. Feel better!
If you get uti during pregnancy is there a chance to affect your baby when born?ty❤
Thanks for asking. UTIs don't affect babies but they affect your pregnancy which can affect your baby. Any infection increases your risk of preterm labor. Preterm labor can affect your baby because it can affect lung development and gut health to name a few effects. It's important to treat UTIs to prevent this. Additionally, untreated UTIs can lead to sepsis in a mother. Sepsis is a blood infection and that can be dangerous for your baby because of the effects it has on you.

I'm having the burning sensation in urinary area. Especially I feel that in nights. How to reduce the infection as I need some relief with natural remedies

Hi, I am 10 weeks pregnant. And have pus cells around 12-14. No symptoms other than itching. Is it necessary to take antibiotics? My family doctor prescribed cephalexin, whereas doctor here in my city is saying that no need to take medicine. I am confused. Because I trust my family doctor more.
Thanks for asking! Cephalexin is safe for use during pregnancy. I can understand your concern and confusion. I would recommend you have your urine retested. It's possible there was some kind of contamination. If the urine continues to test with pus cells, I would consider taking the medication. If they are absent, then you are good to go. Also, the itching makes me concerned more about yeast which cannot be treated with cephalexin. Your healthcare provider should swab your vagina and test it for yeast or other bacteria. Good luck!

I have something to ask .my partner is pregnant for almost 3months and she's suffering UTI . she's in high fever. what would I do in order to relieve UTI?
Thanks for asking! If she has a high fever she needs to be taken to the hospital. Her UTI has most likely turned into pyelonephritis or a kidney infection. She needs strong antibiotics. If she does not get the proper treatment, it could turn into a blood infection called sepsis. I am sending her love and light and healing thoughts.
My docter is giving me cefixime is that safety for my pregnancy? Now am on 26 weeks and detected UTI. When i go to pee is Lil bit hot or warm on that urine and is that can b heal only use that cefixime? Is that effective to cure?
Thanks for asking! Cefixime is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It is also an effective treatment for UTIs. It's important to treat UTI's because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse.

@@TheMaternityMentor which kind of food i need to avoid for that UTI is not come back again? And what food are best for UTI?
plz mum am 2months pregnant nd I run a lab test which indicates am having some infections nd some bacteria in my urine,so I have been given NOVACEF 250mg ,plz any advice for me because am lost
Thanks for asking. The active ingredient in Novacef is Cefuroxime. Cefuroxime is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. UTIs can cause miscarriage and preterm birth, so its very important to treat them. Feel better!
What happens if the UTI does not go away during pregnancy? Even with treatment with Antibiotics?
Thanks for asking. UTIs that do not go away can develop into pyelonephritis which is an infection in the kidneys. One of the jobs of the kidneys is to filters wastes from our bodies to be excreted in urine. Due to this fact, the kidneys have blood running through them. If left untreated, the UTI can lead to sepsis which is a blood infection that can cause organ failure and death. As this process progresses, the infection can cause uterine irritability which can lead to preterm labor or miscarriage. Any systemic infection in the body can also cause preterm labor or fetal death. That is why it is so important to receive treatment. If you are able, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thank you.
Hi doc. Im 5weeks pregnant and was diagnosed uti. My OB Prescribed cefalexin ceporex. But i am hesitant to take. Coz i research ang it says no antibiotics until 60days of pregnancy.it can cause birth defect.. help plss

Cephalexin is a good medication for this. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed. Don't stop when you are feeling better because the infection can come back worse. Good luck!
Hello mam.. I am 30 weeks pregnant. I took urine culture& sensitivity test.. And the result say citrobacter koseri.. And doctor prescribed Nitrofurantoin tablet.. Is that okay.. I am pregnant after 12 years.. That infection doesn't cause anything to my baby na.. Please reply..
Thanks for asking. The medication that your doctor prescribed is safe for pregnancy and is often used to treat UTIs because it is so effective. It is very important that you get treated. Citrobacter koseri can cause serious problems if the infection is transmitted to your baby. While pregnant, the infection can transmit to your baby if you develop chorioamniotis which is an infection in your uterus or if you develop sepsis which is an infection in your blood. This can happen if you leave your UTI untreated. Make sure to take all of the medication as prescribed by your doctor to avoid this from happening. Good luck!
@ Nalan any updates?
Hello ma'am. I m in my 25th weak.. Can I take gentamycin injections for uti as my doc prescribed. But everywhere on the internet its saying that its not safe. Plz reply
Thanks for the question. Gentamycin is used regularly in pregnant women. It should be used with caution during the first trimester because there isn't a lot of study data. However, once you are in the second and third trimesters, Gentamycin can be used when benefits outweigh risks. UTIs can be very serious and if your provider is recommending this medication, I would use this medication.

Hi, I was diagnosed with group B and uti I was given cephalexin 500 mg 4x daily after that + 1 pill a day for remaining of pregnancy. I’ve been on this meds since 19 weeks in currently 24 and wondering how safe is it to take for the entire pregnancy?
Thanks for asking! Cephalexin is safe for use during pregnancy however I would be asking for a second opinion. In the United States where I am, we test women right before delivery. if she tests positive for Group B Strep, we treat her during her labor and delivery. If she develops an infection earlier and it is related to Group B Strep, we will treat it then for a set period of time however we do not use daily antibiotics in general. It can create antibiotic resistance and make it more difficult to treat future infections. I believe your baby should be just fine. But I am concerned about the use in general. However, there are other factors that I do not have the information for, so do NOT stop taking the medication without speaking with your healthcare provider first. Feel better!

Thanks for asking! The infection should clear again as long as you take all of it. UTIs are common during pregnancy and can reoccur. The best way to prevent this is to drink plenty of fluids and go to the bathroom often. Do not hold your urine. Be sure to wipe from front to back when using the bathroom. Change your underwear often and wear cotton underwear if possible. Good luck!

Tartaric acid 0.890gm

I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy and have Ecoli and usually have recurrent UTIs. My doctor prescribed a single dose fosfomycin and said it is considered safe for pregnancy but after researching online, I was hesitant to take it due to lack of research. Shall I go ahead and take it or do I get a prescription for another antibiotic?
Thanks for asking. Most medications have limited study data because drug companies won't test medications on pregnant women. However, there is some limited data that shows Fosfomycin seems safe during pregnancy. Animal studies support this data. I think your healthcare provider is providing excellent care. It is important to get your UTI treated. Ecoli infections are common. They can be prevented in many cases with good hygiene. Make sure to wipe front to back when using the bathroom. Take daily showers but no baths. Change your underwear daily. This should help.

Thanks for asking. Klebsiella in the urine is usually treated with an antibiotic. Your healthcare provider will need to prescribe an antibiotic that is appropriate for you. Fortunately there is a wide range to choose from. The choice of antibiotic depends on your allergies, your gestational age, other medications you may be taking and other lab results you may have.

Hi. I am 6 weeks and 4days
Just got diagnosed with UTI and was prescribed Cefalexin for 10 days, I just got a called from ER doctor saying I tested positive for urine culture. I didn’t get a clear answer on to keep on taking Cephalexin or start the new antibiotics or is it even safe to take both antibiotics at the same time.? :(
The new antibiotics is Metronidazole.
Thanks in advance 💓
Thanks for asking! Urine cultures grow out the bacteria for a few days in the lab. The lab can then identify the specific bacteria as well as figure out which antibiotic will take care of it the fastest. Generally, if they change the antibiotics, you should discontinue the old antibiotics and start the new one. However, every situation is unique and you should try to double check if you can. No matter what, definitely take the Metronidazole because that should treat the UTI best based on your culture. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out.

Thanks for asking! Please repeat your question in English. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
This is awful, such generic advice and reassurance when antibiotic is not ideal. Yes amoxicillin is safer but still preferred not to be taken if possible as it still poses risk. You should not say “it’s perfectly fine to take antibiotic” because people will be less careful in the future. Some natural remedies you could try at home before taking antibiotic are:
- drink a tablespoon of baking soda diluted in water.
- dilute baking soda in cup of water - take a tissue or cotton pad and apply topically externally to the outside of where you pee (yes, your vag)
- do NOT take cranberry juice because it includes insane amount of added sugar that feed the bacteria / your UTI. Only take other fresh fruits that are high in vitamin C and dilute with water.
- diluted manuka honey can help too
- while pregnant you can only have mint tea (the rest like red raspberry leaf and other common teas bring labor quicker)
- probiotics is ok to take while pregnant
Many doctors will say “we need to wait until culture comes back” do NOT wait, if you’re sure you have a UTI it’s best to take antibiotic as soon as possible. If you are not 100% sure try the above first as there is risk associated with taking antibiotics while pregnant. Always do you research and be careful with the American system that always copies / pasted the same response regardless of the institution.
Thank you for your comments.
Can you recommend a dipstick that you can check if you have any UTI during pregnancy at home? Thank you.
Thanks for the question! There are many brands out there to choose from. I think Azo has a lot of good products. However, I think its very important to be tested through a laboratory. Home tests may tell you that an infection is present but they cannot culture the bacteria that's causing it. Only a laboratory can do this. Once you know the bacteria, the proper antibiotic can be prescribed to kill it quickly.

I am 18 weeks pregnant and they have found E-coil infection .. they prescribed me microbid 100mg twice a day .. for a week .. is it safe
Thanks for asking! Macrobid is a very effective medication for treating UTIs. It is safe for you as long as the benefits outweigh the risks. I have personally seen Macrobid used many times during pregnancy. Be sure to take all the medication and do not stop because you start to feel better. This can cause the infection to come back worse. Good luck! If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
Hello ma'am, I'm currently 7weeks pregnant and did urine test that confirmed I have UTI but the doctor said they can't treat it now because of the pregnancy, what should I do because I'm feeling uncomfortable, itchy and burning when urinating or taking a bath..kindly advice
Thanks for asking. I'm sorry to hear this mama. You need to start by drinking lots of water. At least 8-12 8oz glasses per day. I would also start drinking natural cranberry juice, not fake sugar added cranberry juice. Try to urinate once every 1 to 2 hours even if you don't feel like going. The idea with all this is to flush the bacteria out of your system. Make sure you are wiping front to back when using the bathroom. Wear cotton underwear and change them everyday. You should shower everyday but don't take baths for now. You don't want to soak in dirty water. Good luck!
@@TheMaternityMentor Thank you so much 🙏

@@TheMaternityMentor didn’t you say in the video that cranberry juice is a myth? Does it help or no
@@amystevens9080 Thanks for asking. It used to be that cranberry juice was thought to prevent and treat UTIs. Research has since provided results that contradict each other. If you do not have diabetes, drinking pure organic cranberry juice is acceptable and may benefit. However, without solid research, that should not be the first thing to try. Also, too much juice is not good for anyone which is why the other interventions are important. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
Hello- How do you know if the uti has successfully been treated?
I Was on a 7 day course of antibiotics. Altho symptoms have eased - and not going to toilet as frequent.
I still wee quite often and when my bladder is full it’s uncomfortable- and sharp soreness when I wee and slow stream. But seems to be ok in the mornings but gets worse throughout the day. Could this be pressure of uterus/baby?
Or still UTi present?
I’m unsure what’s infection discomfort or perhaps pregnancy discomfort.
First time pregnant so I’m unsure what to expect and what is normal.
Ive always been prone to UTIs ( despite taking measures to prevent them)
but they usually clears up after 7 days nitrofurantoin.
Unsure if I should contact my dr again?
I’m 20 weeks pregnant.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the question. It could definitely be the baby and the uterus pressing on your bladder but it could also be that the infection hasn't cleared yet. Unfortunately, there are antibiotic resistant urinary tract infections. Additionally, pregnant women can get many UTIs during their pregnancy. I would call the office and ask them to test you again since you still have symptoms. Its quick and easy and then you will know for sure. In the meantime, use the tips shown in the video for prevention, like drinking plenty of water.
@@TheMaternityMentor
thank you so much-
sadly my drs didnt test my urine once - possibly due to Covid 19. As they don’t want to see me in person.
I saw my midwife 15th Dec - had some discomfort when she pressed my lower abdomen- (I assumed that was just uterus /baby pressing my bladder) but turns out I had a uti developing.
But she didn’t test it and handed my sample back - I do feel sort of neglected.
It did progress and my symptoms where classic UTI from my experience -
After the course (completed a week ago) my bladder is still tender -especially when going to the toilet
-
To be on safe side - i will contact the drs again monday.
Thank you very much for your reply and advice - I really do appreciate your help.
Am currently 5 weeks pregnant and have slight UTI with no symptoms.Have been recommended to take amoxicillin 500 + clavulanate 125 twice a day for 5 days.Is this safe
Thanks for asking! UTIs that are left untreated can lead to miscarriage. It is always recommended when pregnant to treat them. The antibiotic you have been prescribed is safe for use in pregnancy. This antibiotic has been used for decades and has a vast amount of safety data. Please make sure to follow your healthcare providers advice and take care of your UTI. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out. Thanks!
@@TheMaternityMentor Thanks for prompt reply.The usage of antibiotics in first trimester has got me worrying.Also, the uti detected is light growth of streptococcus.Would this bacteria go away with time
@@rachelphilip8925 Thanks for asking. Streptococcus can go away. It can also come back. Its a bacteria that is found naturally in the vagina and anus. Later in your pregnancy around 34 weeks, your healthcare provider will swab you to check for streptococcus. If they find it, they will give you antibiotics when you are in labor to prevent an infection in your baby. This is called GBS and I have a video on it. When you treat the Streptococcus UTI, it should go away. Then use all the tips in the video to prevent getting another UTI. Good luck!
Thanks !If gbs will go away with time,does that mean it’s treatment is not required if detected in early pregnancy?
@@rachelphilip8925 Sorry for the confusion. If you have a UTI caused by GBS, it needs to be treated because the bacteria is no longer on the outside of your vagina but has entered your urethra and bladder. Therefore it requires treatment. However, for many women, they have no idea they have GBS because it is not causing them an infection. Women can test positive for GBS in 1 pregnancy and not another. In the meantime, you will require treatment for the UTI.
Hi. I am around 6 weeks pregnant andy urine culture came out I have E.coli, my doctor prescribed me amoxicillin500mg+clavulanic acid 125mg ONCE daily for 7 days. But some pharmacist told me it should be TWICE DAILY for 7 days. Im confused as to which to follow. Im also worried about taking antibiotic at early pregnacy. We conceived with my husband after 5 years of TTC. Alhamdulillah.
I would go back to your doctor to confirm the dosage. Taking too little antibiotics can cause the infection to become resistant and get worse. Feel better!
Hey sorry to reply after a year but I am 11 weeks and just found out I have the same infection E.coli.My gynaecologist prescribed me amoxicillin twice daily for five days
I want to ask did this infection affect your pregnancy? Or you have a healthy pregnancy and baby 🙏🏻

Helo ma'am i am 3 weeks pregnant but i was tested positive for uti.....i met with my doctor and he said no antibiotics can be prescribed yet until my second trimester.....but am still very worried been having pelvic cramps and it's hurts more on the right side on my lower abdomen .....pls i need your help ma'am🙏🙏
Thanks for asking. I would get a second opinion. I have seen antibiotics prescribed all the time because untreated UTIs can lead to miscarriage. In the meantime, drink plenty of water and real cranberry juice. This may help flush the bacteria out of your system. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
Can UTI cause bleeding in pregnancy? I started spotting on and off after sex at 10weeks. I went to the hospital they said possible UTI but baby seemed fine. I won’t get a scan for another two days so 10days after it began. We haven’t had sex still but bleeding has continued. UTI won’t be confirmed till my scan either. I notice slight sting in my vagina lasting only a second sometimes like there a cut or irritation inside. I haven’t had any abdomen pain out of the ordinary
I'm sorry to hear this is happening. It sounds very scary. It's possible it’s just slight vaginal tearing that caused the drops. The vaginal tissue gets very thin during pregnancy and can tear easily. UTIs can also cause bleeding so you need to monitor the bleeding carefully. If they are treating you for your infection, make sure to take all the medication as prescribed. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
Hi mam I am 23 week pregnant.... Now I have bloody urine... My HB level also decreased.... My doctor prescribed zanocin 200.... I take it 10 days....after I feel bloody urine... What I do mam... Please give the solution.... Now my HB level is 9.1.... please reply
I'm sorry this is happening. You need to see a kidney doctor called a nephrologist so they can do some testing to determine the cause. Continue to monitor your symptoms and update your healthcare provider with any changes immediately. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
Hello doc,
I am currently 17 weeks. I have recurring UTI without symptoms. They prescribed me Cephalexin 500 mg 4 times a days. Is it safe to take it while pregnant. I am so worried for my baby.
Thanks for asking! Cephalexin is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat UTI's because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
Im 9 weeks pregnant i have uti infection 3 time and i used antibiotics but my symptoms r not going away im suffering badly i really dont know what should I do? When im going for test my tests r showing negative but i have white bleed cell in my urine i really dont know y i have this ?
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately some women have more UTIs during pregnancy than others. It can happen for a variety of reasons. It could be that you have a very short urethra making it easier for bacteria to enter. It could be the baby is positioned in a way that makes emptying your bladder difficult. When the urine sits inside too long, we develop a UTI. It could also be that the bacteria isn't being killed by the antibiotic because it is resistant. I would ask your healthcare provider to refer you to a urologist. These are doctors who specialize in the urinary system. They may be able to evaluate you further to determine why you are having so many infections. They may also recommend that you go on an antibiotic for a longer period of time than the standard course to ensure the bacteria is killed.
I always try to self diagnose myself before going in to the doctor so I can give them an idea of what I think I have. So I am having contractions while urinating and needing to pee every 5 minutes. The only thing that helps is sitting on a heating pad. I went to my doctors yesterday and she assumed it was placenta previa because I had light spotting. (I am at risk for it) but I still have no relief. Is there anything we can do from home to ease the symptoms or treat it? Also is sitting on a heating pad safe for the baby? Because I know they say no hot tubs so I keep getting worried everytime I do it but I also have guests sleeping over and I’m extremely uncomfortable like 24/7
Thanks for asking! Can you tell me how far along you are/how many weeks pregnant? Have they tested you for a UTI and it was negative? Did they do an ultrasound regarding the placenta previa? So let's talk heating pad - you want to use the heating pad at a setting that is below 100 degrees F. This is safer for your baby. Do not use it for longer than 10-15 minutes and probably 4-5 times per day but you need to check with your provider for sure in case they have a different recommendation based on placenta previa and your pregnancy. Some potential sources of comfort could be a bladder program where you urinate at regular intervals and some pain relief options like Azo and Tylenol but the answers to your questions will provide some better insight.
@@TheMaternityMentor I am 15 weeks and yes the did an ultrasound and an internal ultrasound but the specialist wasn’t exactly communicating with me so I have no idea if she anything worth worrying about or not? For me I just wanted to hear the heartbeat and I did. It gave me slight peace of mind but I have tried to contact my doctor and she has not answered yet. I think they may still be waiting to results. I have had tiny blood clots a couple times today and some other discharge that was thick
@@Sarahssafespace It's very important for you to contact your doctor to determine if you have any type of placenta previa. Placenta previa is a condition that needs to be managed carefully. If you are having uterine contractions while urinating and you are starting to see blood, that is concerning. Clots, even tiny ones, shouldn't be ignored. Please understand these are signs that require caution but could be benign. You need to make sure you're doctor has tested you for a UTI. If not that needs to be done as soon as possible. I would also call your doctor about the clots and the discharge to request advice. If the bleeding or clots gets worse, call your doctor immediately or go to the hospital to get checked out. Finally, stop using the heating pad until talking to your doctor. Heat increases blood flow and may be contributing to the problem. With more details, its really important you get those ultrasound results. Tylenol may be safer for pain relief right now.
Good afternoon my doctor prescribed me Cephalexin 500mg 5 times a day I’m 23 weeks pregnant and scared to take anything due to past miscarriages. do u think it’s fine for me to take?
Thanks for asking! I completely understand why you are so scared to take any medications. It's important to understand that untreated UTIs can also cause preterm birth and miscarriage. If left untreated, you can develop sepsis which is a blood infection and that same blood also travels to your baby. Cephalexin is safe to use during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. Good luck!
Hello mam, I am 27 weeks pregnant. Uti infection has been found in the report..but i don't have any symptoms..the doctor told me to take niftas lablet 2 times a day,is it safe during pregnancy... please reply me...I am very nervous...
Thanks for asking! Niftas is part of a class of medications that contains Nitrofurantoin. Nitrofurantoin is safe for use during pregnancy and is very effective at treating UTI's. It's important to take all the medication as prescribed or your infection can come back worse. UTIs can lead to preterm labor or sepsis. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
Hi doc i am currently 7 weeks pregnant and was prescribed cephalexin, will that cause miscarriage?
Thanks for asking! Cephalexin is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat infections because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
Good day maam i just want to ask if those antibiotics we drink that was prescribed by our healthdoctors wil not defform the baby?
Thanks for the question. Antibiotics have been found to be safe for the baby. Additionally, the infection they are treating is far more harmful. The exceptions are Tetracyline, Streptomycin and Kanamycin.
Great video man, dude you saved my life.
Thanks
I have an UTI as well. I took the first pill of nitrofurantoin mono-mcr a day after they gave it to me in the hospital. It was blood found in my urine. What happens if i felt a little sick so i stopped for a day or more. I will be 10 weeks soon and haven’t been to the hospital since February 22. Will my baby still be ok? Cause i really don’t want a miscarriage on my first child I’m very worried.
Thanks for asking. If you have a UTI, it is important to take all the medication as prescribed. UTIs can cause miscarriage if left untreated. Nitrofurantoin can change the color of your urine making it look like there is blood in it. So, you should check with your provider to be sure what the color is from. Also, after a few days most UTI symptoms will go away but you still need to take the medication otherwise the infection can come back and be worse. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
@@TheMaternityMentor thank you and I’m finishing out the medication 💊 so i want have to deal with it coming back. I started back today.

Can metrodiazol used for 2 days in 22 week pregnancy effects fetus health
Hi doc, currently I m 35 weeks pregnant I have uti staphylococcus aureus bacteria,is there any serious
Thanks for asking! It's important to treat UTI's because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
Hi Doc. I am on my way to 18th week pregnancy to my second baby. I have been experiencing UTI before marriage. In fact, I failed to bring my first born to life due to preterm delivery because of this infection. Now that I'm conceiving again, I am really worried about the effects of my recurrent uti especially this time of my pregnancy. Previously, I was asked by my OB to get a urine culture and a bacteria named Staphylococcus intermidius was identified. Also the Alantibiotics which were safe for pregnant, I was found to be resistant. Instead my OB prescribed me with fosfomycin but I feel that its not getting any better. Can you advice me of whats best thing to deal with this? I can't stop worrying. Thanks for your response.
Thanks for asking. I am sorry to hear this is happening. The first thing is to get rid of your UTI. Fosfomycin is safe for pregnancy. Make sure you complete the entire prescription and do not stop when you feel better because that can make the infection come back and be antibiotic resistant. Also, for people who have antibiotic resistant infections, its important to take the antibiotics exactly as prescribed. This means if it's every 8 hours, you should set an alarm for every 8 hours to take as prescribed. Do not estimate. Second, many antibiotic resistant infections are best treated by taking the antibiotics for longer than you traditionally would, for example, 2 weeks vs 7 days. Also, adding a second antibiotic may be helpful. I think you should ask your provider to refer you to a urologist which is a provider who can check out your urinary system to see why you may be getting recurrent UTIs.
For prevention, use all the tips found in the video. For you, I would add washing your hands prior to using the bathroom as well as after. Staphylococcus intermedius is usually found in animals including cats, dogs, cows, horses, ect. It's possible you are touching a surface where the bacteria was located and then transferring it inadvertently. If you have domestic animals like dogs or cats, keep your bathroom door closed or your toliet paper out of reach because it may simply have been they nosed the toliet paper and it transferred to you. I am not advocating getting rid of your animals. Animals are extremely beneficial to humans but this is a simple way to ensure that you don't get exposed to the bacteria again. Good luck!
Thank you so much and ill be taking all your advice.

Same for me I've had a recurrent UTI about 4 times and I'm sure why 😢
Hello Mam, I am 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant, yesterday I went hospital for my routine checkup, Everything was good but my baby's weight is about 2.6 kg something, me and family are worrying about that..kindly ans me is this weight is ok or low??
Thanks for the question. 2.6kg may sound low but it sounds good to me, especially if your healthcare provider says everything is good. Usually weight is determined by ultrasound. Ultrasound can be off by up to .5kg in either direction, more or less weight. That means your baby could be bigger or smaller than that weight but in my experience they are usually bigger. Additionally, babies will grow on average .5kg per week in the last month of your pregnancy. If you go until 40 weeks, your baby may gain up to 1.5kg putting the baby at 4.1kg. Finally, smaller moms tend to have smaller babies. I think your baby is a good size for your healthy pregnancy.
Good day doc , I'm not feeling well I think I have UTI can I take amoxicillin 25weeks pregnant . .. doc can I ask for advice
Thanks for asking. Amoxicillin is safe for use during pregnancy. However, you want to make sure you get examined and that you have a urine test performed. The test can tell your provider what type of bacteria caused the infection so they can prescribe the right medication. Good luck!

Hi I’m 5 weeks pregnant and went to the er yesterday due to spotting and whenever they checked my urine it came up that I have a uti so they prescribed me cephalexin 250 mg (2 pills ) 4x a day and they also did a vaginal ultrasound and baby is fine but since I left the er the bleeding has gotten brighter red and I’ve also felt light cramping in my lower abdomen/lower back I called the er to see if I should go in and they said It sounds like uti symptoms and i should be fine then hung up but im still worried because the spotting is turning darker red each time but not heavy like period. Is the bleeding due to the uti infection or could I be miscarrying?
Thanks for asking. I'm sorry to hear this is happening. Bleeding can be very stressful. The bleeding could be caused by the UTI but it can also be caused by a miscarriage. You should continue to take the antibiotics to treat the UTI and reach out to your personal healthcare provider so they can examine you. The UTI can cause uterine contractions which can irritate the placenta causing the bleeding. However over time this can cause the placenta to fail. Call you healthcare provider and get checked out. Sending you love and light and healing thoughts!

Mam, I tested positive in urine test and also vaginal swap. E.coli(++++) is present and yeast(+) also. Is there any problem for future pregnancies? Please mam tell me, is this curable or not? Please mam. Waiting for your answer
Thanks for the question! E.coli is a very common cause of UTIs. It is often found in and around the rectum as well as in feces. Because our rectum is so close to the urethra and vagina, if we are not careful when we wipe after using the bathroom, we can get an UTI caused by E.Coli. Make sure when you are using the bathroom, you wipe from front to back, or from the vagina down to your bottom. Never the other way around. Having E.coli and/or yeast in your urine should not affect future pregnancies. It is absolutely curable. make sure you take the antibiotics prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Ma'am am five months pregnant and I was diagnosid with u.t.i which has been recurrent for 1yr please help me save my unborn baby,,,I feel itching in ma genitals
I'm so sorry to hear this is happening. It's important to take the antibiotics prescribed by your healthcare provider. Ask them to run a urine culture. This is a test that checks what specific bacteria you have so they can give you the best antibiotic. Once they give you the medication, make sure to take all of it, even if you feel better. When we stop taking antibiotics early, it actually makes the infection worse. Also, drink plenty of water and remember when using the bathroom wipe front to back. Good luck!
Hi, I am currently on my 13 weeks. I was prescribed with Antibiotic called “Cephalexin” … but after taking it for 2 days, i started to feel my genital area being itchy. I also feel nauseous when I take the tablet.
Should i stop using it? Please notice me and hope you can give me the answer. TIA
Thanks for asking! Cephalexin is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat infections because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. That being said, you may be having an allergic reaction. Call your doctor and discuss what is going on. Feel better!
My doctor prescribed amoxicillin to me but after looking a studies online it is shown that it is linked to an increased chance of a cleft platelet when taking it in the first trimester. I am so livid because there are other antibiotics that would’ve been better to use I don’t know why she prescribed this.

Im 38 weeks pregnant and i have uti and infection of blood and my doctor give me antibiotics 2x a day but she said my baby is healthy...i just want to know if i had a severe uti and is can be dangerous for my baby and is there possible i caesarian?
Thanks for asking. Our bodies are amazing and will do everything they can to protect our baby's. If your provider says the baby is healthy, that should be accurate. Make sure to take all your antibiotics to clear up the infection. An infection can sometimes increase the need for a cesarean section if it has not been treated and resolved. This is usually because fever in a mother can cause the baby to have an elevated heart rate making it more difficult to tolerate labor. UTIs that are effectively treated should not require a cesarean section delivery.

Hello .Thank you for all .l'm 24 weeks pregnant. Last time l went to hospital with left side back pain.l got oral antibiotics and a lot of liquid as well as ozone therapy. After a week l have right side back pain.The last urine test was clean. What could l do now .l got antibiotics 10 days.after a week accepting them again may cause overdose or not? According to ultrasound my baby is 300 gr heavier than normal?
Thanks for asking! Taking a second round of antibiotics will not cause overdose. This is often required for a severe infection or an antibiotic resistant infection. As for your baby being heavier, antibiotics and UTIs do not usually cause this. It may just be right now and later on in the pregnancy, the baby's weight will adjust back to normal. Continue to drink lots of water which will help clean your kidneys out and hopefully help avoid another UTI.
