I've been feeling some discomfort and burning sensation while peeing, and I'm very early in my pregnancy. Are UTIs (urinary tract infections) common during the initial weeks of pregnancy? What should I look out for?
Yes, they are common, but please do not self-medicate or try strong home remedies. An untreated UTI can cause complications in early pregnancy, so call your gynac immediately. Let them check and prescribe safe medicines.
Yes beta, it happens to many women during this time. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Take rest and don't take any stress, everything will be fine.
My doctor at Apollo had warned me about this during our first consultation. If you feel any irritation, just call your hospital coordinator or nurse immediately. They can quickly prescribe safe antibiotics so you don't have to suffer.
UTIs are very common because of hormonal changes that relax the urinary tract. But don't ignore it if you feel burning, as untreated infections aren't good. Get a simple urine culture done and show it to your doctor.
I've been reading up since we are trying to conceive, and apparently hormonal shifts make UTIs really common. Did you start feeling symptoms right after your missed period? Hope you feel better soon!
They are common, but instead of doing expensive tests directly at big hospitals, you can get a basic urine routine test done at a local lab first. It only costs around 150-200 rupees. Then you can show the report to your gynac to save extra consultation fees.
Oh god, early on I was constantly running to the washroom, but then I'd run straight back to my plate of golgappas! UTIs are super common but make sure you drink lots of coconut water and fresh juices. Keep eating well and stay hydrated!
Having been through so many procedures, I know how terrifying any small symptom can feel. UTIs are quite common due to all the hormonal changes we go through, but please handle it gently. Do mention it to your clinical team so they can guide you safely.
