Bacteria in urine during pregnancy

[soulful]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how common bacteria in urine during pregnancy is and what the repercussions are?

TIA

I believe that's an indication of a UTI or possibly thrush or some other form of infection. Has your dr had your uring sent off for testing.
There are plenty of natural methods you can try to reduce the bacteria in your urine. The popular one is drinking cranberry juice.

Thanks Jodi, at this stage I'll be going back tomorrow for a repeat, so I'm not sure how concerning it is at this stage. Just a little nervous about it...

Hi soulful,
good luck with your test tomorrow
You should be fine, but if its an STD like Chlamydia then your doctor will be able to give you proper treatment advice and information.
I've heard that things like peeing after sex, wiping only from front to back, and also drinking cranberry juice are all good ways to help prevent and stop spread of bacteria.
good luck!
