This is my second UTI in this pregnancy and im honestly fed up. Why does it keep happening more now than before? Anyone else faced this a lot during pregnancy?
Haan, ye UTI toh pregnancy me bahut common ho jata hai na. Hormones and heavy uterus make it hard to empty the bladder completely, so bacteria growth is easy [1.2.4]. Lots of water and keeping clean is the key!
Oh, I panicked so much when I got a UTI in my second month, I thought something was wrong! But my doctor reassured me it's totally normal due to physical changes and hormones. Just drink plenty of water and it will be fine.
Because of my PCOS history, I was already prone to hormonal shifts and got a UTI early in pregnancy. Since the uterus expands, it traps urine in the bladder, leading to infections. Please don't self-medicate, check with your doctor.
From what I experienced, hormonal changes relax the urinary tract muscles, which slows down urine flow and lets bacteria grow. Just make sure to drink coconut water and keep hydrated. It really helps prevent it.
It's pure anatomy and hormones! Progesterone relaxes the ureters, and the growing uterus physically presses on the bladder, keeping some urine trapped. This creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, so stay hydrated.
I had a C-section and also got a UTI during my pregnancy. The growing baby presses on the bladder, which blocks the urine flow and causes infection. It is very painful, so drink plenty of water and rest well.
