I just thought I would share this with anyone thinking they may have a UTI. A couple of weeks ago I went to the medical centre and told the Dr I had a bit of a funny feeling in my bladder. I've had UTI's before and i sort of felt like the beginning of one but without the weeing needles feeling and no blood in the urine. I told the Dr that it felt a little bit like someone was pinching my urinary tract (rather than my bladder and needing to go to the toilet with nothing coming out every 5 seconds).

The Dr said that the baby was sat on my urinary tract and that it was stopping me from fully emptying my bladder. She did urine tests and put me on to antibiotics (that are supposedly pregnancy safe).

I took my urine results to by Obs the other day and he was really annoyed. He said the urine results were better than okay and there was no reason that I should have been on antibiotics. I know some Dr's are quick to give out antibiotics but I thought that they would be a bit more cautious when considering pregnancy.

So just be careful and speak to your obs before taking anything.
