I did a dip-stick urine test at work on Monday (I was still stressing about my massive ankles) it didn't show any protein or glucose but it did show a trace amount of blood.
I've only had one uti before, earlier this year, about a month before I found out I was preg.
I didn't have the normal symptoms (burning or peeing frequently or anything), rather kept getting sharp stabbing/ pulling pains.
I was put on ab's and the doc told me only to take a short course (3 or 5 days I don't remember), NOT to take the entire pack.
I pulled out the remaining ab's last night (they're still in date) and looked them up in the MIMS.
They're completely safe to take during pregnancy so since then I've taken two.....
I'm really tempted to take the rest (only about 3 days worth total) and just ask for a urine test at my next appointment (5 days).
I know ideally I should go to the ob, but realistically I'd like to save the $70 if I can!
I'm not in pain, I don't have a fever and I feel fine.

So my question is, do you think it's ok to just continue on with the ab's until I see my OB next week?
