I've heard that UTIs can be more common during pregnancy. Does being pregnant make women more prone to getting urinary tract infections, or is it just a coincidence that some get them?
Yes, pregnancy makes you much more prone to UTIs because of the hormonal changes. Since I had PCOS, my doctor kept a close eye on my urine tests. Please don't ignore any burning sensation and consult your doctor for a safe pregnancy antibiotic if needed.
It is very common, but don't try self-medication at home. Just focus on drinking plenty of water, coconut water, and clean public washrooms are a big no. Go to your local clinic, get a urine routine test done and show the report to your doctor.
I am in my 5th month and constantly feel a slight burning sensation, is this how a UTI starts? I'm so scared it will affect the baby. Did anyone else go through this in their second trimester?
Haan na, it is very common actually. Mere pregnancy mein bhi doctor ne bola tha skin and urine infections jaldi ho sakte hain. Just drink lots of water and check with your doctor immediately if it hurts while peeing, okay?
Actually yaar, pregnancy hormones relax the urinary tract, so bacteria builds up super fast. I got a UTI in my second trimester and it was so annoying. Definitely tell your gynac, they will do a simple urine test and give safe meds.
