Stay positive and drink plenty of warm water, dear. But please show the urine report to your gynac just to be on the safe side.

I had a UTI during pregnancy and it's no fun. Don't ignore the pus cells, get the proper range checked by your gynac.

I panicked so much when my report showed 10 pus cells! But doctor told me it's very common, just drink coconut water and keep a check.

Normal range is under 5 cells. If it's higher, it might need a safe pregnancy antibiotic, so let your doctor make the call.

Keep drinking lots of water and fresh lime juice to clear the system. But don't skip showing the report to the doctor at your next visit.

Usually up to 5 cells is considered okay in pregnancy. Drink lots of water, but definitely show the report to your doctor to rule out any infection.

A few cells are normal, but if the count is very high, you'll be running to the washroom constantly. Better show the report to your doc.
