UTI or Bladder Kicks?

[Sterla]

Some times I get a feeling like I really need the toilet - only to go and have nothing but a few drips come out. It doesn't happen all the time, and there is no pain or burning involved or anything. I've had a UTI in the past, but this doesn't feel like that did.
So, what I was wondering is, is it possible that it is just bubs giving me a big bladder kick (and then making me feel like I need the toilet), or could I have a UTI, just appearing with less/no symptoms.

hey sterla,

i don't have an answer but the same thing has been happening to me today.....
I was thinking it was a UTI too

Me too, but I think its just pressure from the baby on the bladder. Frustrating isn't it! I also get a kick down low a lot that feels a bit like an electric shock going through my, well you know. Pretty sure its nothing to worry about though.

Could be kicks but could be UTI. I was going to suggest good ol' Ural if there was burning but if not then I'd drink heaps of water to try to flush out any irritants and get onto the cranberry juice (excellent for UTI's). Maybe give that a few days if you can handle it but if not head to the doc.

I get that too, I think it's just kicks or when the baby is down low, not cool baby!

Yeah - I think I've decided that the feeling must be bladder kicks or the baby sitting on my bladder. It doesn't happen often enough or regularly enough to be a UTI. It can be very annoying though - naughty baby .

Just to be safe, Iwould go to the doctor and they will do a quick urine test and will tell you straight away if it is a UTI. If may just be kicks but if you have a UTI and it goes untreated it can cause further problems for you.

I jsut had one last week and it started of like what you said and then turned into an awful UTI.
