You should get ahold of your dr or his assistant or the one on call or get to the er room and get this situation checked out as they say, if in doubt, get it checked out especially so the situation does not get worse and it can take a load off of you.
The best to you and yours!
Keep us posted.

Agreed. Utis if left untreated will most likely spread to the kidneys...And trust me you do not want a kidney infection. If you do have a uti, you need antibiotics a.S.A.P! In the meantime, drink lots of cranberry juice or even orange juice.

I Just Had to Go to Labor And Delivery For That Problem
On easter sunday, all day I was haveing contractions...Not braxton hix either.. Anyways I called my Dr. And her midwife called me back and asked me if I was drinking fluids and all that good stuff, I said yea. She then asked me if I have been peeing alot, I said yea come ta think of it I have been going alittle more than usual...I had no pain or discomfort when I went to the bathroom either....So of course I never thought about it. The midwife told me ta go to l&d to be checked...Just incase it was "the real thing", cause i'm 31.3 weeks pregnant. So me and my feonce went and they monitered everything and gave me a shot ta stop the contractions, checked my urine and they said I had a slight uti.The rn there said its a good thing they caught it cause it can lead to premature labor. The doctor prescribed me macrobid and i've been do'n good since.....Good luck to you..

Ive had two utis during my pregnancy and I think I may have it back again since ive been getting pains, but ill keep an eye on it and go to the doctors with a urine sample, maybe thatll keep my mind at rest. I think you should do the same and be seen by your doctor or midwife, good luck
