UTI or baby's head?

Until you can get into the Doc try drinking 3-4 litres of water a day for the next 2 days. If it is a UTI this will help to keep the infection to a minimum by flushing your baldder.

I think that if you have an ifection, they won't make you wait a week. You can probably even just call ahead and see if you can drop in today. Leaving infections for a while can make them worse or lead to complications so you want to be safe. Like Alan said, drink masses of water and perhaps cranberry juice too if you can. I like to profilacticly take a glass or two of cranberry juice every now and then as a preventative measure and it works for me. I used to get a couple of UTI's a year and I don't remember the last one I had since adding cranberry to my diet.
