    If its not a UTI, it could be high acidity (sp?) in your urine. I have had this a few times before & during my PG. You can use something like Urals or Citravescent (tastes better than Urals) & that is an akaliser (sp?) So its supposed to sop the burning/stinging sensation

    Is it safe to take Urals while pregnant? I would like to try that first and I would much rather try a natural alternative first than take anitbiotics. Should I just ask my chemist or health food store? I thought I may have just aggrivated the area because I have to pee so much...
    Thanks for the advice and helping to put my mind at ease. Its funny my protective instinct has already kicked in and I just dont want to do anything or take anything in case it hurts my little one and I still haven't even seen her/him in a scan yet. Got 2 more weeks to go.

    My OB told me I could take both. He also suggested to take them during labour so it doesnt sting when you got to the toilet after the birth

    ETA- You can get both from the chemist, they also have a book where they can look up the ingredients if you are unsure of any medication to tell you if it is safe or not

    What about good old cranberry juice? Can't remember if it's more for a UTI or thrush (I think UTI) but I believe it alkalizes your wee, and wouldn't do any harm at any rate. I've also heard you can apply natural yoghurt to the area if it's thrush.

    BTW - these days they prefer your bladder to be as empty as possible before the scan so you don't need to worry about that!
