hellow archie..and all who has faced this kind of problem
i have been a silent reader for many days and now just want to share my problem as i am in very tensed state..
my EDD is on 17dec and i have been ahaving monthly checkups by the doc till now..during my last visit to the doc i informed about pelvic pain and she asked me to do a urine routine test.
and the result showed plenty of puss cells(really donno what they are as i was a little worried to ask)she has prescribed antibiotic for 5 days.my question is can we take antibiotic in pregnancy and is this kind of complains are common in pregnancy..i am worried if this could hurt the baby..
soni replied. Hi though this is address to archie i have the same problem .I had this in my first preg. through out the preg. this time i am having in my 35th week just as your timing (conincident my due it 17th dec. also) .Anyway, I was taking macrobet that's what they usually give to a preg. woment unless they see no improvment usually that goes away with the 5 day treatment and sometime followed by one night time Gynazole .1 .
This is so common i had both time and they do send for culture also.They will ask you to take lot of water ,wear cotton panty,no douching, etc. i am sure she must have informed you all that too .i hope things will be o.k for you take care feel better
soni archie replied. Siha,
first off all welcome to board.
UTI infections are very common. There are many who I have seen here on IP some were mild and some experienced recurrent UTI infections.

Nearly all of the UTI are treatable during pregnancy and some of the antibiotics are of great help to control them.

It will depend on which antibiotic you are prescribed.

Most importantly you are nearly at the end of 35th week and your baby is almost full term and there are almost negligeable impacts of antibiotic one can estimate on development of baby, so be worry free.

hope your concern is swayed. Let me know which antibiotic you are taking.
