Pregnancy Week 11-ER Trip Part 2
LOOK FOR PART 1 TO FIND OUT WHY WE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL.
***What is a urinary tract infection?***
Your urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. It includes your bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs get into this system, they can cause an infection.
Most urinary tract infections are bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not serious if it is treated right away. If you do not take care of a bladder infection, it can spread to your kidneys. A kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent damage.
What causes urinary tract infections?
Usually, germs get into your system through your urethra-the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside of your body. The germs that usually cause these infections live in your large intestine and are found in your stool. If these germs get inside your urethra, they can travel up into your bladder and kidneys and cause an infection.
Women tend to get more bladder infections than men. This is probably because women have shorter urethras, so it is easier for the germs to move up to their bladders. Having sex can make it easier for germs to get into your urethra.
You may be more likely to get an infection if you do not drink enough fluids, you have diabetes, or you are pregnant. The chance that you will get a bladder infection is higher if you have any problem that blocks the flow of urine from your bladder. Examples include having kidney stones or an enlarged prostate gland.
For reasons that are not well understood, some women get bladder infections again and again.
What are the symptoms?
You may have an infection if you have any of these symptoms:
* You feel pain or burning when you urinate.
* You feel like you have to urinate often, but not much urine comes out when you do.
* Your belly feels tender or heavy.
* Your urine is cloudy or smells bad.
* You have pain on one side of your back under your ribs. This is where your kidneys are.
* You have fever and chills.
* You have nausea and vomiting.
Call your doctor right away if you think you have an infection and:
* You have a fever, nausea and vomiting, or pain in one side of your back under your ribs.
* You have diabetes, kidney problems, or a weak immune system.
* You are older than 65.
* You are pregnant.

*** What does a mucus plug look like?***
A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It may be stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some women may not even notice the loss of their mucus plug because there is already an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy.

i’m glad everything is ok….and your little sweet pea is so cute….hope everything goes well….CONGRATS….
i’m so happy to …
i’m so happy to hear everything is good now. I was at the ER quite often during my pregnancy with my son. At 28 weeks because he flipped head down all in one shot he sent me into early labour and I had to go to the hospital and stay there to be monitored:S it sucked… i bled at 8,10 and 18 weeks….I hope you start getting a lil bit better luck.. try and relax a lil more…i know hard to do right…
The 1st time, again …
The 1st time, again I think I was more emotional b/c the 1st time we saw the baby there was no HR and we were told there was bleeding behind the placenta w/ a 50% MC rate. So the 2nd time we finally heard the heartbeat so I was really overwhelmed and so relieved to hear the HR. I cried of course.
Yeah I take …
Yeah I take cranberry pills as a preventative, and of course I always drink tons of water b/c I’m pregnant, and it’s just healthy.
ok so i thought i …
ok so i thought i was the only one freaking out about losing my mucus plug. I havent seen the doctor or anything because i figured if there was no blood or if it wasnt a significant amount then i was ok. Plus it is very true the more pelvic exams you get the more chance you have into going into labor sooner. PLus i looked it up a bit and sometimes semen can stay in there for awhile and come back out looking like that as well. I could be wrong. But i am glade everything is going good. Goodluck
whats it like to …
whats it like to hear you second baby`s heart beat? how were you emotionally? did it feel the same as when you first heard jace`s? you do have a baby bump..its soo cute..its soo amzing how in just 11 weeks its actually looks like a baby..6 months left to goo whoohoo..again ill say this your a very lucky girl..
i had the same …
i had the same thing and the pills or horrid no their not that bad just a strong smell that comes from it wen you pee… i found out that cranberry juice and drinking of water lots of water helps rid of it as wll…
I’m glad everything …
I’m glad everything was ok! Continued prayers for your family, and little one! Hope everything continues well!

u should go to …
u should go to cheesecake factory or souplantation the broccoli cheese soup is ummmm
I forgot to tell …
I forgot to tell you I’ve had UTI’s for many years now…to the point where I was referred to a urologist I ended up having surgery, but I was told to drink cranberry juice AND eat blueberries…they contain tangin (? spelling) which helps reduce UTI’s.
Lol no you read it …
Lol no you read it wrong, but it said LMP=12w4d. LMP is last missed period. I didn’t ovulate though until 22 days into my cycle which is why it’s so far off from the actual conception. LMP only works if your one of those girls who has a “perfect” cycle which is 28 days long ovulating on cd 14. I have NEVER been like that. lol I WISH I was almost 13 weeks, wouldn’t that be nice!
I’m confused..on …
I’m confused..on your ultrasound it said “GA = 12w4d”..did I read it wrong?
Esh, not a fan of …
Esh, not a fan of black beans period… lol If it’s not bar-b-que or green beans, chances are no thanks, lol
Lol I’ve always …
Lol I’ve always been like that… comfy is what is best. ha
try the black bean …
try the black bean soup at panera it great !!
haha.. i thought i …
haha.. i thought i was the only daggy one who loves to get into their pj’s or comfy clothes as soon as they get home! my husband can’t understand it and thinks i’m a huge dag!
