I feel a UTI coming on...help!

what can i take that's safe for the baby? I normally have a ritual where I take a vitamin c pill, clean the area and take azo or cystex for the next day or two, and it normally clears up. I heard cystex was either a class C or B drug, can anyone help me clarify if its a B or C?

I always just drink cranberry juice.  If it's not fully blown, that usually takes care of it.

PPs suggestion of calling your ob or midwife is good, too.

I usually take cranberry pills and drink a ton of water. The cranberry juice would be good too!

I am insanely prone to UTI and always have been (to the point where I pee in a cup almost daily to monitor cloudiness so I can catch it super early)

 

cranberry juice (not cocktail, 100 percent...you may wanna mix it with water since it is really bitter) and an absurd amount of water usually hold mine off if I catch them early. 

Seriously, drink as much water as you can handle.

good luck!

Definitely Cranberry juice and water.  Basically just flush your system as best you can.  Also, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.  I found that it seemed to feel worse if I didn't eat enough.  Sometimes that stuff made me not want to snack like usual.

Call your OB as well.  I know a couple of times they were concerned that it was more than just a UTI because of the amount of protein that had showed up in the preliminary tests of urine.

I would rather give birth (no choice soon) than have a full blown UTI. Seriously...that is how awful they are to me. I drink lots of water, take AZO or Uristat, and cranberry pills. Good luck!!!
