Apparently I'm just a hypochondriac...

LogansMama · Nov 16th, 2009, 17:15 PM

Well - Thursday I rushed to the doctor cause I thought for sure I had a UTI. I had all the symptoms... frequent, somewhat painful unrination, the urge to go, then hardly nothing came out, etc...

They put my on antibiotics and sent me on my way. It takes a couple days for the results to come back, but didn't want me to wait till TODAY to find out... so I took them just to be safe.

I also started with Braxton Hicks all week too. I thought it was early and strange, but then I read the two can be related... so I figured it made sense..I mean - BH can happen any time, but it says they are common with a UTI.

Turns out... I never had a UTI... so whats up with me? I'm just a hypochondriac? I feel so stupid now.....

No I don't think you are. It is natural to worry.

I was on the phone to my midwives last night cos of my pain. Had an appt with my GP today and he said the pain is relating to my womb which has shifted far up really quickly.

I don't know what is normal and what isn't when pregnant! So I check every little thing.

I'd say I didn't give a shit about my health or babies if I ignored things

In my opinion, its better to be safe than sorry. You did the right thing. Dont worry about it xxx

I bet the baby is pushing on your bladder and making it feel like a UTI! No way for you to know though without them checking you! I think any one of us would have done the same!

its a natural thing to worry, heck i do it all the time. could be baby pressing down on ur bladder, like my little bugger is

. and remember
ITS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY

Thanks for the reassurance ladies. I just feel dumb cause I actually have thought I seemed "better" since I finished the antibiotics. So how is that possible??

No reason to feel dumb over it! The baby probably just changed positions. When mine moves a certain way it feels like my tailbone is going to break. Hurts so bad until he moves!

I did the same - was convinced I had a UTI but tests came back negative. Still feel the same, peeing 5 times a night and going to the loo every hour during the day..... v frustrating. You were absolutely right to get it checked out, could be serious if left untreated and as my doc told me, UTIs present differently during pregnancy.

i totally agree, its so hard to know when we are being ott....i worry at every little twinge and ache....i am a bit of a worrier and i dont cope well with pain. i have my 16 week midwife appointment this friday and have a long list of things to ask to check they are normal and i am dealing with them properly!!!she is gonna love me!!! plus the fact that i nearly fainted at my last appointment cos i couldnt cope with the one little blood test, so am dreading the next blood test!!!

its always best to be safe than sorry as untreated UTI'S can trigger premature labour
