Got a uti last week and gynac gave medicine, but im wondering why it even happened. I drink decent water and stay clean. Is it common in pregnancy or did I do something wrong?
Oh, I had a terrible UTI in my second trimester and it was so painful, I literally cried! The hormones relax your urinary tract muscles, making it easier for bacteria to grow. Please get a urine culture done through your doctor as soon as possible, you dont have to suffer through this pain.
Uti toh pregnancy me common hai ho na, bladder pe pressure badhta hai aur hormonal changes ki wajah se urine hold hota hai. But isme bilkul ignore mat karna, turant doctor ko dikhake medicine le lo, paani acche se peena haan.
My MIL always said to keep the washroom dry and drink plenty of fresh coconut water to keep the system cool. Basically, the growing baby presses on the bladder, which doesnt let urine empty fully, causing infections. Do consult your doctor for safe pregnancy-safe antibiotics, beta.
It usually happens because of hormonal changes and the babys weight blocking the urine flow. The best practical tip is to never hold your pee, drink at least 3 liters of water daily, and use a safe toilet sanitizer if using public toilets. But definitely see your gynac for a quick checkup.
