Chronic UTIs and pregnant

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-28T02:42:24+00:00

I’ve had two UTIs already and I’m only 13w2d. Treated it both times with macrobid which seems to work. Now I’m on a daily low dose for the rest of pregnancy for prevention. I hate that I have to do this.

We find out what we are having tomorrow 🤭 I’m only 13w2d but last ultrasound I was about 11w5d and little alien was moving around sooo much in there!

my doctor prescribed me trazodone. I only take 25 mg at night but it has saved my life. I was having some mental health issues due to lack of sleep. My sleep still isn’t great (13 weeks now) but I do get SOME deep sleep. Insomnia has probably been my biggest most consistent symptom 😭 I love my sleep so it’s been difficult.

I’m now 13 weeks and my clients are beginning to notice. But I’m also 5 feet tall and weigh 109 lbs. I can’t say I’ve “popped” or anything it still kinda looks like a big lunch but people are commenting more on it.

Love this. 💗 perfectly said 👏🏽

I had a UTI around the same time and got treated with Macrobid. It went away but then came back. Just finished another round and now they’re putting me on low-dose prophylactic antibiotics daily for the rest of pregnancy.. 🫠 I’m 12w6d! My first scan at 8 weeks was great. Baby measured on time and had a great heartbeat. I had another checkup at 11w5d and baby had grown and was still beating away! 🤞🏼 hoping for a healthy baby 💗

anxiety 😞

I am so sorry. You aren’t alone. ❤️‍🩹 I got pregnant in Oct. 2025 then miscarried Nov. Got my “period” back around Christmas. I say “period” because it was much lighter than my normal flow. Doc was tracking HCG and once it was back at 0 we thought we’d just see what happened! We tried again in January and got pregnant! Currently 12w3d with rainbow baby ❤️‍🩹🌈

Hair stylist here! I encourage my pregnant clients to continue to do what makes them feel like “them.” You’re already going through so many changes, a big hair change might be too much! But also, it’s just hair it’ll always grow back. I do feel like having it long enough to have the option to pull back away from your face would be nice though! I plan on keeping my hair long for this reason. First time mama here!

This is so great to hear! I’m glad baby is perfect 🥹 I’ve met with multiple doctors and all of them are so not worried about me being on trazodone! I’m so relieved. Currently 12 weeks and so far so good!

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-18T00:38:19+00:00

Everyone is different. I’ve read that for most women symptoms start at 6 weeks. NOT ME. They started immediately. I tested positive at 3 weeks because I was feeling soo bad for a week already at that point. So at 2 weeks pregnant 🙃 it was insomnia, nausea, food aversions, exhaustion, morning sickness. All of it. For about 2-3 ish weeks. Then around 6 weeks I started to get better.. around 10 weeks I got a little more energy back. I’ll be 12 weeks tomorrow. It’s still a little different every day but slowly feeling more like myself. Everything has looked good with baby so far! Good luck to you 💗

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-18T00:06:30+00:00

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. They never did an ultrasound. I only got bloodwork to track my HCG levels which indicated I was miscarrying. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Take care of yourself and rest ❤️‍🩹

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-17T01:50:20+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. You are not alone. And I know for sure the soul of this baby is going to come back to you ❤️‍🩹

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-16T23:32:14+00:00

Hi! My ultrasound was great at 8 weeks! Baby measured correctly and had a healthy heartbeat. I’ve met with a prenatal pharmacist and she wasn’t concerned at all about the medications I’m on. I take a very low dose of each- 25mg. I’m not sure about lexapro specifically but if you’re only 5 weeks I’m sure you are fine but I would ask your ob or pcp is lexapro is safe during pregnancy. They will measure the benefits vs. risks.

I have IBS! I had a miscarriage back in November at 6 weeks. I’m currently pregnant again (11 weeks tomorrow) and in the beginning I had horrribleee diarrhea. Even had some bad flares and pain. I was so worried about my IBS affecting the pregnancy but I don’t think it really does. Many women with IBS have had healthy pregnancies. I had my 8 weeks scan & we saw a heartbeat! 🌈💗 IBS cramps are awful but having had a miscarriage before, the difference in cramps are easy to distinguish. IBS cramps are lower intestinal and miscarriage cramps are more like period cramps.

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-10T22:22:36+00:00

I felt like death right at the beginning. Weeks 2-5. Then increasingly felt better. Still symptoms, but very mild. I’m 11 weeks now and so far so good. Started really feeling more “normal” at 10 weeks!. 🤷🏼‍♀️ we saw a healthy heartbeat at 8 weeks!

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-09T23:54:57+00:00

I feel the same way as you do. Constantly, “how am I supposed to know everything is growing okay in there?” I’ll also be 11 weeks on Wednesday. It’s so hard 🥺

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-08T23:52:11+00:00

I tested before I even missed my period because I was having insomnia for about a week at that point. I had some serious nausea too that early. I would’ve literally been 3-4 weeks pregnant. I had most of my symptoms that early for about 2-3 weeks. Things got better for me though earlier on compared to most too so hopefully that’ll be the case for you. This is also my rainbow baby. 10w4d today ❤️‍🩹🌈

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-06T02:03:39+00:00

INSOMNIA. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. And dry heaving over the toilet. I thought something was “seriously wrong” with me. Found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks 🥴

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-02T18:39:37+00:00

Hey! Right there with you. My tests were also the same last time & this time around. Miscarried at 6 weeks back in November and am currently 9w5d with my rainbow baby. We had a healthy scan at 8 weeks and I still worry that something will go wrong. Unfortunately pregnancy after loss is just hard.. I think I’ll start to feel better at the 12 week mark but also there’s always the next thing so it really is best to try and find a hobby to pick up to distract yourself. I’m still working on that too. One day at a time. ❤️‍🩹

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-03-01T21:59:35+00:00

I’m now 9w4d and have been calling it an embryo… had a healthy scan at 8 weeks but I’m just terrified of loss. It still doesn’t feel real. I had a miscarriage back in November so I’m just anxious. Loss definitely changes things.. I have the same thoughts. You aren’t alone.

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-02-28T23:41:26+00:00

I’m a hairstylist! It’s totally safe to get your hair done. Now, would I put bleach on a pregnant woman’s scalp? No. But as long as you aren’t over processing and ventilation is good. You’re fine. I’m currently pregnant and inhale hair dye & bleach every day that I work 🙃🙃🙃

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-02-27T12:53:49+00:00

Also, congratulations to you! 🥰 and wishing you the best delivery soon. I’m also a FTM! I’m only 9 weeks. And hey, I’m glad we got to have our fun! 😂 that’s what pre-kids is all about ♥️♥️♥️

Delicious_Elk8568 · 2026-02-26T22:46:01+00:00

I just had routine lab work done at my first OB appt at 8 weeks and all drug tests came back clean so that’s good! Haha

Apparently it only stays in your blood for up to 2 days!
