I already got one uti this pregnancy and the burning was horrible, really dont want it again. Im 20 weeks. What do u all do to keep it away, any small things that help in daily routine?
UTIs in pregnancy shouldnt be ignored as they can cause problems. So if you feel burning, frequent urge or any pain, get the urine tested and see your gynac quickly. Prevention is great, but catching one early matters even more.
Drinking plenty of water, not holding in your pee, and wiping front to back were the main things I was told. Cotton underwear and staying clean and dry also help. These simple habits kept UTIs away for me.
Hydration is your best friend here, lots of water through the day. Pee when you need to, dont hold it, and keep the area dry. If anything burns or feels off, straight to the doctor for a urine test.
