UTI

so i finally got a call from my OB, and i have a UTI, but im not able to get the medicine right now, probibly not till next week, how bad are UTI's while prego?

Yikes I couldn't do it without the meds .
It can develop into a kidney infection
Take tylenol for pain and drink like you never have before , pee as much as you possibly can.
Don't have sex it will irritate you more.
No bubble baths

can you not get the meds till next week bc of money? i would find someone to borrow the money you need bc you really need them!!! if its not money, can i ask why you wont be able to get them??i recommend finding anyway possible to get the meds you need - not only bc you need to get the uti fixed bc it could turn into something worse but also bc they are terribly miserable!!!!

I dont know while preg. but I know UTI are sooo painful and uncomfortable!!! What helps me the most whenI get one is when the burning wont go away take a bath with a book (NO BUBBLES). Deffinatly dont have sex until you KNOW its gone because it can cause it to come right back if its not all the way gone, drink drink drink WATER only!!
Hope it gets better!!!

yikes.. i cant feel a thing, i am just as normal as i always am. but no its not money, my medication is all free, my dr.'s office is 2 towns away, and i am not currently driving, so i have no way there, nor do i have the ID to pick it up, becuase im millitary, and you need your military ID to pick up medications, so i have to wait for my mother, who wont beable to till next week :\

i would tell ur dr that its going to be a week before you can get the meds and see what they recommend you do. its really not healthy to let it go more than a couple days! i understand how complicated the military can be! trust me! haha but see if there is anyway that the dr's office can work with you to get you what you need... glad to know you arent feeling any pain, tho! just brace urself - cus if you arent treating it, the pain WILL come haha.

actually cranberry juice is the best thing for a UTI...i had one a few years ago and i didn't take medication...i drank cranberry juice and popped cranberry pills and it did the job in a week

Quoting USMCBabyOnTheWay:“ actually cranberry juice is the best thing for a UTI...i had one a few years ago and i didn't take medication...i drank cranberry juice and popped cranberry pills and it did the job in a week”yes

yes i wanted to say something about that, too... water is great but cranberry is just as good for uti's!!! DRINK UP!   just hold the vodka  

drink a ton of water and Ocean Spray Cranberry juice until you can get the pills.

It's pure cranberry you want not mixed juice - cranberry nectar to mix with water is best if you can find that . Or the pills like the other girls said !

cranberry juice is good for UTI because it still has cranberry in it, but you should also take the pills as well. i take the pills now to stay away from UTI's

well i drink ocean spray cranberry juice all the time, i love it lol, its like my favorite, but i only had like a half a cup left.  

i got my meds today, my sister picked them up for me and brought them here
