I have an infection.

My second OB's appointment last Friday went well. The doctor said I was healthy except I have slight UTI.

Shucks. Bummer.

She says pregnant women are susceptible to UTI because of changes in the urinary tract. The uterus sits directly on top of the bladder. As the uterus grows, its increased weight can block the drainage of urine from the bladder, causing an infection.

There are also many other pregnant women who had this problem and as far as I know, its better to stay away from tight fitting underwear and outfits. Also drink lots and lots of water.

I was advised by my OB to drink antibiotics 2x a day for 7 days. Hopefully, after the treatment I would be fine. I hate to be confined for UTI you know, years ago, I was for not treating my UTI and the infection spread causing me fever and chills. Scary right?
