Apparently I have E. coli

Idk when or how but when I took a Uribe culture sample at my 16 week appointment they found E. coli in my urine and now im trying to figure how to flush it out of my system before I get my antibiotics through the pharmacy, had this happened to anyone before this is my first time being pregnant and this has never happened to me before and im really worried

Same thing happened to me around 16 weeks. Its one of the bacteria’s that can cause Utis. I knew I had a uti before I went into my appointment anyway. They’re more common in pregnancy. Drink a lot of water to try to flush it out but sometimes the only way to completely get rid of a uti is antibiotics.

I’ve been texting my ob non stop if he can just send the medication through my pharmacy instead of through the mail so that it can get here faster and I can just take the medication

I know cranberry is a natural way to help with UTI. Maybe look it up first, but I’d grab some cranberry pills or raw cranberry juice (not the sweetened kind, but all natural maybe in the organic section or at your health food store).

Have you tried a probiotic try to take that or put some oregano in water or oregano oil it gets rid of uti,yeast infections and bv works better than medicine I promise. I did it and it went away in less than a hour

@Dajia Update: I drunk nothing but water and yogurt for 3 days straight since finding out and when I went to the doctor they did over my labs and everything came back clear, and thank you for the suggestion I tried the oregano water and while it made me go to the bathroom 3 times it did help
