Normal pregnancy stuff or UTI...?

Question

I have to pee All. The. Time, but when I go there usually isn't much there! Yet, as soon as I go to get up from the toilet the urge to pee is back. And when I sit back down, usually a few more drops will come out.

When I go for a walk I never get far because every time I try I have to find a toilet again within 5 minutes. It's driving me nuts!

I don't really have a burning sensation when peeing and I don't feel ill or anything, but I'm still wondering: is this normal in pregnancy at this level or could it be an infection...? Should probably mention that my pee is smelling very strongly even though I'm well hydrated....

Will mention all this at my next doctor's appointment but in the meantime: any feedback is appreciated.

Answer

Oh! Stay away from anything else! No tea, coffee, juice ( other than cranberry) etc...

Answer

Sounds like the beginning of a UTI. It is still early days, you can probably combat it. Drink lots of water! Lots! And cranberry juice but the real stuff not the juice drink crap. You can dilute it with water, because it is tart.

This sounds exactly like me when I had a uti Hun x

Answer

I do the same thing with running to the toilet and only a trickle and then other times I can't stop. I can definitely tell when baby girl in smashing her head into my bladder. No UTI, I believe it's pretty common considering baby is gaining weight later on in your pregnancy and putting more pressure on all of your organs!

Answer

Could be either. I have similar symptoms but no UTI as of my most recent appointment. Several weeks ago I had the same symptoms and wound up in the hospital with a kidney infection. I find it harder to figure out for myself if I have a UTI now that I'm pregnant ( I had frequent UTI's prior to pregnancy). You definitely don't want to mess around with a possible UTI, kidney infections are no fun! I would check with your doctor. Better safe than sorry. As a side note, I've found that doing kegels on the toilet to Try to get more urine to come out seems to help prevent running to the toilet every 5 minutes.
