Pesky UTI

I still have that pesky infection. My OB said its so minimal but still a urine culture would not hurt to determine the exact type of bacteria.

I was asking her why I am susceptible to UTI when I am very careful about this since I had was confined because of this a few years back. She said, some people are just prone to it than others especially if they have a history of having it (me!), is pregnant (me again!), menopausal or diabetic. The best way is to regularly drink lots of fluid to flush out any unwanted bacteria "down there".

I've been gulping down water like a camel on a hot desert for weeks now and nothing. I still have UTI. Grr. I also asked her what effects it can have to my unborn child - she said preterm labor and congenital UTI which is very hard to treat according to her. However my OB reassured me that I don't have anything to worry about. My infection is very small that she did not prescribe any antibiotics now. Just to keep on drinking lots of water.

...on to more baby updates, I've heard the baby's little heartbeat again. My placenta is still low and has not moved up away from my cervix. Hopefully, by the end of my first trimester things will look up for me.
