Please read this ladies.. UTI awareness so it doesn’t happen to you! XX

I just want to post about this as I feel it’s really not spoken about enough. From about 13/14 weeks pregnant I suffered with a UTI the treatment given never fully sorted it out but the symptoms had gone away so I was never to know. Anyways, my baby boy was born 2 weeks ago at 24+1 and he is intensive care fighting hard. All down to an untreated UTI and BV infection. I went into the triage 5 times telling them I was in pain/ bleeding and that something wasn’t right. My active labour lasted 2 hours on 23/4/25 so my baby could not be made to stay inside with a drip etc. the reason for this post is that if you have ANY discharge you think isn’t quite right, you have any type of pain that doesn’t feel quite right, or you are suffering with a water infection. PLEASE PLEASE keep on at them, made sure you get your treatment. This is my second baby and I can’t believe I let this happen to me. Never in a million years did I think I would have a prem baby and he has a long hard fight on his hands. Hoping you all have healthy and enjoy your lovely pregnancies and please say a prayer for my baby boy who now is 26w 4days and 1lb 6oz Xxx
