UTI second trimester

Drink loads of water, like literally force yourself to drink and pee every time you feel the urge, and take at least 2 paracetamols

It happened to me two days ago in the evening and the next day I went to the gp and got antibiotics prescribed
But this should help for now, hope you feel better ❤️ it’s a very annoying thing

Do you have a shop with a chemist in open near you. They may be able to offer you advice of what is okay to take and give you any treatment if necessary

If it’s bad then call your triage, they will call you in and prescribe you antibiotics if needed 😊

i use to suffer during pregnancy & cranberry juice did it for me

111 is not really helpful, I called them crying in pain from my uti and they dismissed me saying I should drink water, take paracetamol and go to the gp the following day
But that may just be my experience 🤷🏿‍♀️

I would strongly advise that you’re still seen over the weekend. If you call your normal GP practice, there should be information on where to contact out of hours - there’s always someone to see you, no matter where you live.

It’s vital that it’s treated promptly, especially during pregnancy!

If you can get to a chemist or boots, they usually have something for relief, I’ve had sachets that you mix with water that take the pain away. However that was before I was pregnant so you’d have check what’s safe to take x

I suffer with UTI all the time the thing I found that works a lot more than anti biotics is D-mannose from holland and barrett's. They are herbal and worked so much better for me thank anti biotics xx hope this helped

Definitely get seen at a chemist, they have been a god send for me this pregnancy, I have a bad right kidney so very very prone to UTIs and they have been able to test and contact the duty doctor at casualty for me on a saturday. If not then give the midwife a phone and she should help xx

Thanks for your advice ladies! I called 111 and they had a local out-of-hours doctors call me back and send me a prescription to a local pharmacy. I totally didn’t know this was something they did!
