I have a history of chronic UTIs and i read online that pregnant women are more susceptible to UTIs and that is making me nervous. I take a cranberry supplement everyday and so I looked up if I can take the supplement as pregnant and everything is saying no because they are not "regulated". I don't meet with my midwife for 2 more weeks and I don't know what to do!
Any tips?
I noticed that you posted this a while ago. I'm curious what your midwife said? Did you find any help?
I'm wondering if the growing pressure on my bladder is something and not a UTI. It just seems to change each week.
Weird, I also feel like the type of underwear I wear affects it. I think I need to go google this now!
Cranberry juice is good if you're worried about the pills. Just make sure it's 100% juice and not a cocktail because the added sugar can make it worse. Drink lots of water, and it's kinda funny but what worked for me is I bought mesh panties like the ones they give you at the hospital
Is it possible it's bv not a UTI?

my sisters have always had problems with utis and when she was pregnant with her boys had them all of the time. her midwide told her she was fine to take the natural cranberry azo supplement and when i talked to my OB she told me it was fine too because i have ocasional issues
I hope someone responds because I have a similar situation. Chronic UTIs are painful and disruptive. For me, they also fairly easily turn into kidney infections. I sometimes end up in the hospital due to them. People think, UTI, big deal... But they ARE! I really hope someone responds with tips and advice.
