Im 6 weeks and having a lot of burning while peeing, someone at home suggested alkasol. But i dont want to take anything without being sure during pregnancy. Will ask my gynac also but wanted to hear from you all first.
Actually yaar, self-medicating is a big no during pregnancy, especially with syrups like Alkasol. Just talk to your gynac, she will give you something safe for burning urination.
When I was staying at my mom's place, my mother always told me not to take any over-the-counter medicine. Even for mild burning, she would make me drink barley water or lassi. It's best to check with your doctor before taking Alkasol.
Honestly, Alkasol's safety isn't fully established for pregnant women, so avoiding it is the safest bet. Always get a proper prescription from your doctor because self-treatment can sometimes cause imbalances.
Listen, don't stress too much about it! Just call your doc and ask if it's safe for you, please don't take it on your own. Keep drinking coconut water, it really helps with UTI!
I had a normal delivery and went through a lot of UTI issues too, so I know how annoying it is! But I only took medicines that my doctor prescribed. Just get a quick green light from your gynac, she knows best!
