I've been feeling some burning sensation and a frequent urge to pee lately, which feels like a UTI. I just found out I'm pregnant, so I'm wondering if pregnancy itself can cause these kinds of UTI symptoms.
Oh god, yes it can, and it's so stressful to deal with! Urinary tract infections are very common in pregnancy but can be dangerous if left untreated. Please call your doctor right away to get a urine test done, don't ignore it.
Pregnancy pressure on the bladder can feel like UTI, but actual infections are also very common. Having PCOS made me super cautious, so I always got tested immediately. Please contact your gynac so they can prescribe safe antibiotics if needed.
I had severe UTI symptoms in my second trimester, including a burning sensation. My gynac immediately put me on pregnancy-safe antibiotics after a urine culture. Please don't rely on just drinking water, consult your doctor.
I have heard that early hormonal changes can sometimes make us feel like we have a UTI. But since we are trying to conceive, I would be very careful. It is best to check with a doctor if you feel any burning or pain.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and painful those symptoms can be, dear. Please don't suffer through this or try home remedies alone. Reach out to your doctor immediately so they can help you feel better safely.
