a Urinary Tract infection. i have had cramps the whole time that i have been pregnant and everyone kept telling me it was normal! then the pains got unbearable so now i find out that it is a urine infection and i have to go get some antibiotics in a about an hour, but my question is can this have harmed my baby as i have had the cramps for so long? i have read that utis cant harm your baby as long as they catch it early enough, but how long do you have to have the infection before it is too late? i am currently 18 weeks preg, my last scan was at 12 weeks and everything was ok

I had UTIs my whole pregnancy, on antibiotics the whole time. When the doctor checks your urine, that is one thing they should check for, and if a UTI is dangerously bad they will be able to tell, and give you a shot. If they thought it was bad enough to harm the baby they would do more then just putting you on antibiotics.
For now, cut down on fatty foods and sodas, drink alot of water and cranberry juice for the UTI, and eat yogurt with live cultures to avoid getting a yeast infection while on antibiotics.

If it turns into a kidney infection, then the baby (and you) could be at risk, but chances are yours did not go that far.
With a kidney infection you would have had significant fever and feel very ill, perhaps nausea and vomiting as well.
Consider yourself lucky, and I'm glad you found out what the problem was! While taking your antibiotics I would suggest also taking acidopholus to restore good flora in your digestive system. Also drink LOTS of water and cranberry juice and try the natural remedy Uva Ursi.

Without a script. Wow that is lovely rough to arise with anything. Especially whilst handling on-line offerings. For persistent soreness you need to see a document. It's the one solution to get robust soreness manipulate meds. Depending whered you're you could have the probability of scientific marijuana.I'm on persistent soreness manipulate meds. Methadone and Tramadol are the 2 meds I use. Neither has a euphoric outcome however does manipulate soreness.

It can harm the baby, if its not treated and it turns into a kidney infection, which can cause pre-term labor.

well its a common infection in pregnancy but it can cause preterm labor if it is not treated. But with my son I had one the entire pregnancy! I am sure everything is Ok just make them check you often to see if you have one.
