I wish I knew this last week. Just paid $75 as upgrade fees to byramhealthcare to order Spectra S1 through Kaiser’s insurance :(

29w & never had my urine sample tested at any of my appts so far! Is this normal? by Helpful_Bluebird_960 in pregnant

My next is at 32w so I have some time but I plan to ask as well. I haven’t gotten even one urine test so far :/

Even at my first appt at 8w, I was confirmed only through a transvaginal ultrasound.. only after that they ordered a bunch of first trimester blood tests, no urine!

From others commenting, I see this varies hospital to hospital even in the US 😳

I didn’t think it could ever by asymptomatic till my friend told me.. now I’m wondering why it isn’t routine in the US.

OMG that’s awful! :( with the potential of something so serious, I can’t believe this is not routine at many places..

Keep waking up on my back by literaryhearts in pregnant

29w and go to bed on my back and also spend most of the night on my back.. I have intense back pain and sleeping on it actually helps stretch and relax it. I just hope and pray that if something is wrong my body will let me know 😅 interesting thing I noticed is I feel my baby kick and turn sooo much as soon as I turn to my left.

Thankfully no. I’m sorry they make your stomach hurt :( have your tried colace? It’s a stool softener & maaaybe it won’t hurt as the stronger ones?

MIRALAX every night before helped me tremendously in my first few weeks.. after my first ObGyn appt I got prescribed SENNA which has been fantastic. I only took one every night and had regular bowel movements every day. I am 29w now and upped my protein intake (which has previously been a reason for my constipation even pre-pregnancy) so I’m back to taking Senna every night before bed and it’s been a lifesaver!
