Pregnancy Week 11-ER Trip Part 1

Our update and hospital scare for week 11.
WATCH PART 2 FOR AN ULTRASOUND PICTURE.

***What is a urinary tract infection?***

Your urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. It includes your bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs get into this system, they can cause an infection.

Most urinary tract infections are bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not serious if it is treated right away. If you do not take care of a bladder infection, it can spread to your kidneys. A kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent damage.
What causes urinary tract infections?

Usually, germs get into your system through your urethra-the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside of your body. The germs that usually cause these infections live in your large intestine and are found in your stool. If these germs get inside your urethra, they can travel up into your bladder and kidneys and cause an infection.

Women tend to get more bladder infections than men. This is probably because women have shorter urethras, so it is easier for the germs to move up to their bladders. Having sex can make it easier for germs to get into your urethra.

You may be more likely to get an infection if you do not drink enough fluids, you have diabetes, or you are pregnant. The chance that you will get a bladder infection is higher if you have any problem that blocks the flow of urine from your bladder. Examples include having kidney stones or an enlarged prostate gland.

For reasons that are not well understood, some women get bladder infections again and again.
What are the symptoms?

You may have an infection if you have any of these symptoms: * You feel pain or burning when you urinate. * You feel like you have to urinate often, but not much urine comes out when you do. * Your belly feels tender or heavy. * Your urine is cloudy or smells bad. * You have pain on one side of your back under your ribs. This is where your kidneys are. * You have fever and chills. * You have nausea and vomiting.

Call your doctor right away if you think you have an infection and: * You have a fever, nausea and vomiting, or pain in one side of your back under your ribs. * You have diabetes, kidney problems, or a weak immune system. * You are older than 65. * You are pregnant.

*** What does a mucus plug look like?***

A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It may be stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some women may not even notice the loss of their mucus plug because there is already an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy.

my wife is on antibiotics in her 6th week of been pregnant for a uti and im worried that the antibiotics could harm the baby developing all its organs but then again they say if you dont treat the infection it can affect the baby too..any thoughts??

[xxxjoelpolexxx]

@deacks1 If you don't treat an UTI it can cause miscarriage very easily. As for antibiotics being safe or not, always ask what pregnancy risk level they are. A & B are extremely safe. The Dr will prescribe C but there are NO studies on if it's safe for the baby or while nursing so I personally don't take them. Anything below C is a NO NO!

Have you ever heard of a condom? I swear, how fkng stupid do you have to be not to use one these days. Fools like you should not be breeding

Hey. Yeah i actually have CUTI. (Cronic uti) I get them once a year. I got my first one when i was 14. IT HURT SO BAD! They thought my appendix ruptured. I was in the hospital all night in the E.R on my 15th birthday! then the took X-rays & did a cat scan only to find out i had a uti that was traveling up instead of down. It spread to my kiddneys and i was in the hospital for a week! I was so bad a was dry heaving & peeing EVERYWHERE! HAHA. It was loads of fun! Chris was there the whole time!

Sometimes even after you do preventative measures of a UTI once you get them it is so easy for them to come back.

[HollisterGator]

im only 12 old and i have had 3 UTIs in my life and its not normal for kids to get them i hate them and when i get i get really bad ones

[babyinsep]

so! i had jumped to week 25.. and you had said you were having pre term labor effects consisting of pains that went from your back to stomach then vise versa. im very concerned becuz i am 11 weeks and i sometimes have the same problems, could it be my kidneys? or does this present a problem in the future? what do you think?
