I think i have a uti but not 100% help

Im prone to utis, i did have a uti at the start of pregnancy but other than needing to pee more I had no other symptoms other than typical 1st trimester symptoms was given antibiotics it went away. Well im 23 weeks and I have been having days where im either needing to pee constantly or im pee constipated if that makes sense I put it down to how baby is laying. well the last 2 days I have been peeing a normal amount not urgently needing to pee or having the urge more than normal no other symptoms apart from first in the morning a slight stinging after not drinking for hours so thought nothing of it. I brought one of those home uti test kits and nitrates are normal but the other one comes back and shows something should I leave it a few days and see if it changes and see if all symtpoms go away as if it is because baby changed position. I did read that inflammation can cause it to be high and I have been having to hold my pee a couple of times due to not being near a toilet. What should I do leave it a few days or just go get checked anyways?

Go to er

I'd just get in to the doctors in the morning love and get them to check. Better to be checked and it be nothing than to leave it 😊😊

Dont leave it because it could be important! Always go get checked if your worried about something ❤️

I would get a bidet. If you’re so prone to them

I would suggest getting checked out at the ER or your local family/ birthing unit at the hospital. I have had a similar experience to you, and I am recovering from a bad one presently, so it is always good to get checked out to make sure it is just a UTI that isnt an uncommon infection or potentially spreading.

Just go to urgent care or call your ob and ask for a urinalysis tomorrow. You don't want to leave it be because it can spread and get dangerous

make an appointment with your ob, not a super big deal i had one every few months with my last pregnancy for some reason. tell your dr about the antibiotics they can give you a different one

If leukocytes were positive then you have a uti.
Are you drinking enough water?

And please don't go to the ER unless you have no other providers in your area. It's not an emergency

Did another test whilst waiting for the helpline to open and no signs of leukocytes now, however baby has now decided to play bouncy castle on my bladder that or his just kicking my bladder either way not happy about it lol

Hi Girls, it’s my birthday in literally 45 mins and im literally alone because my boyfriend thought carnival was more important than me…he went today instead of being with me he didn’t even tell me he was going, he purposely delayed telling me when he was there and I just feel like im done with him. I’ve already done most this pregnancy him barely scraping the bare minimum its actually hard to even fathom this is a boyfriend. I’m 35 weeks pregnant and this really hurt my feelings today. You’ve gone to carnival knowing you have a heavily pregnant girlfriend at home on the day BEFORE her birthday.

Spicy bestieee 😮‍💨💋

Pregnant afff & craving a girl bestie to have some fun with (secretly) like & I’ll message you. I’m located in northern central Florida. 🤞🏼❤️

Looking for a fellow SAHM Bestie 🥹

Hi! I’m looking for a bestie that’s in the same walk of life as I am. It’s hard making friends as a SAHM. So I’m posting this in hopes that I’ll find my own personal forever friend. I am 32 with a daughter. I love all types of music and always looking for someone to swap music recommendations and playlists with. I’m big on crafting and looking to learn to crotchet and sew as a hobby. I’m also into reading! Some of my favorite genres are romance, mystery, self help, and psychological thrillers! I am a huge foodie and love to cook and try new recipes. I also am a slight gamer. Fortnite is one of my faves so if you play we could def run some duos. I love to travel and I equally love being outdoors! I am a night owl and a pretty decent texter. If any of this resonates with you I’d love to chat to see how we vibe!

Looking for a lifelong person.

✨ Anonymous because making friends as an adult is terrifying ✨

I’m a military wife + mom of 3, and honestly… I really just want a bestie. Someone I can genuinely click with, have those “how has it been 5 hours?” conversations with, send random thoughts to throughout the day, and just be completely myself around.

I’m a HUGE reader, I love coffee, cozy days, and getting way too invested in random conversations. I also have a shit ton of anxiety, so if you’re the kind of person who overthinks a text for 45 minutes before sending it… we’ll probably get along just fine. 🫶🏻

I’m not looking for a huge friend group or surface-level friendships. I want that “you’re my person” kind of friendship. Someone who can come over in sweats, drink coffee, yap about literally everything, and eventually become family.

And I’m totally open to long-distance friendships, too! Distance doesn’t really matter to me if we genuinely connect. I’m happy to have someone to text all day, FaceTime, share our lives with, and eventually meet if we ever get the chance. 🥹

If you’re also looking for a genuine bestie and think we might vibe, comment!! 🥹

Hows this app going for you?

Im struggling to make friends or even keep the conversations going on this app. Im very disappointed and even a little sad about it. Anyone going through this too? Am i the problem🥲😢

Best friend.

Hi! I'm Katie and I'm 36 years old. I'm a wife, mama to an amazing 10-year-old, and a follower of Jesus who's all about real conversations and genuine friendships. Life has taken me on a few unexpected twists, but it's taught me to appreciate the little things and laugh whenever I can.

I don't care where you live but I have a hard time making new friends. I was sheltered growing up so it has hindered me in life. I prefer texting people over talking on the phone. But I would love to have a genuine friendship. Someone as a best friend that I can tell everything to. Yes I have my my husband but it's not the same.
