Recurring UTI’s & kidney infections

Anyone else have this same problem? Before I was pregnant I NEVER had a single UTI or a kidney infection and when I was pregnant with my wee girl I had a total of 8 UTI’s and 3 kidney infections then after I had her I had another 2 UTI’s and another kidney infection😵‍💫I asked the GP to look into it so they scanned my kidneys and took bloods which all came back normal🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m now currently 9 weeks pregnant with my second and I have all the symptoms of yet another UTI. I should have phoned the GP today but I ended up busy with other things and never got the chance so it’ll have to wait until Monday. I’m now feeling really quite horrendous and to be honest, I don’t know if I can cope with as many infections as I had the last time! I was on antibiotics for the majority of my pregnancy and it was just such a big hassle. It’ll be much harder this time with my wee girl being here too. Does anyone have any advice?🙃🙃 **Tried all the obvious things such as; drinking more, eating as healthy as possible and drinking cranberry juice (which I hate and only drink it when I absolutely need too)**

Waterfall D mannose! It's expensive 😬😬😬but did the trick for me!! I took three every night as a preventative measure, and three before and after sex. D mannose is the active ingredient that actually makes cranberry juice good for UTIs so it's just super concentrated. I emailed them when I was pregnant and they said safe for use in pregnancy. On another note.. I wouldn't wait til Monday for antibiotics as it can be dangerous particularly so early in pregnancy. I'd get an out of hours app tomorrow via 111 or head to minor injuries or something.

I actually paid privately to see a consultant urologist as I was getting them recurrently and this is what he recommended. Not currently available on the NHS, may never be as they won't make the pharmaceutical companies any money 🥲 https://www.sweetcures.co.uk/products/waterfall-d-mannose-tablets-1000mg?srsltid=AfmBOopbdwWit_Mst8l2DOQzXwT9c5yFQRWjsOPwKRZ1ehgruZsSeL2I

Yes I have this problem to had one that was that bad had the shower head there for hours couldn't pee in the toilet and was sat in the bath feeling hopeless 😂😂😂

I never had a yeast infection or vaginal bacterial infection before getting pregnant and then I got them all the time when pregnant. I have no advice to share unfortunately. Good luck with everything!

Pomegranate juice is better than cranberry but both work plus d mannose I’ve had a urine stoma for 12yrs and these help me stay healthy I’m 27wks but as high risk of septis I’m on daily low dose antibiotics Also if struggling as the consultant team if you can take hiprex Sadly hiprex didn’t work for me years ago so not sure if you can take when pregnant
