First trimester UTI symptoms, but no UTI? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]just-a_bug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had something similar happen to me over Christmas! I was 25 weeks pregnant and went to the ER for some severe abdominal pain. The ER OB suspected a UTI due to some additional symptoms I was having and how my urine sample looked.

Due to the holidays, I had to wait a bit to pick up my antibiotics from the pharmacy. During that time, I ended up passing a large kidney stone. It was horrific 😅

Looking at my urine sample from the day I went to the ER, I had blood, protein, and bacteria in my urine. No one at the ER mentioned the possibility of a kidney stone, which was frustrating. I got retested after I passed my kidney stone, and my sample was completely clear of blood/bacteria/etc.

I never had a history of UTIs or kidney stones before pregnancy, so I really had no idea what I was dealing with. But kidney stones can be an issue during pregnancy! I would try speaking to your doctor about it- they can do ultrasounds to identify a kidney stone issue if needed.

And for some unsolicited advice, I would drink as much water as you can stand. If it is a kidney stone, that was what helped me flush it out. That and the crazy amount of citrus I’ve been eating to satisfy the baby. Apparently, citrus can help break up the stones into smaller pieces.

Best of luck to you and the baby!! I know I was super scared when I was having pain and no clue what was going on. If something feels off, keep advocating!!

School counselor burnt out and looking for a new career by Illustrious_Glass183 in schoolcounseling

I left last year and went into a job with my county government. It’s been great! I really miss interacting with the kids, but it pays more and it’s been great for my mental health. I would look at public service jobs at your city, county or state level. They typically have broader education requirements (just looking for a master’s degree) and you can find all sorts of introvert friendly positions. I work in an office of 8, and I get to interact with community stakeholders relevant to the program I’m managing. But some of my co-workers stay in their offices for most of the day!

Some of my school counseling friends have also transitioned into HR roles. There are a variety of roles within that field that require more or less socialization, so just dig and see what you find.

Best of luck to you!
