I'm pregnant got foul smelling urine

Hi ceres, all the advice that you got here is very relevant and you should never take a urinary tract infection lightly, even when you are not pregnant. It can lead to kidney disease which may not be detected until you have severe kidney damage. The course of antibiotics that you got should have been completed and not stopped because you felt better. What you did was partially destroy the bacteria causing the infection and then they recuperated once you discontinued the antibiotics. Go and see your doctor immediately like yesterday! Drink lots of fluids including Cranberry juice, (100% juice), you can also have dried cranberries or any other cranberry product. Cranberry prevents the bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary bladder and allows your system to flush them out faster. Its some time since you posted so I hope that you have been to see your doctor already. Please follow all the instructions that you got and if the medication that you get does not clear it up after you have completed the course, go back to your doctor even before your next appointment. Kidney disease during a pregnancy is not advisable at all! I am not trying to frighten you, just to impress on you the importance of not treating your symptoms lightly. On a happier note, Congratulations! I hope you have a beautiful, healthy baby and your labour will be a short one!

Congrats on your pregnancy, it could be a urinary tract infection. So it would be best and advisable if you see your obgyn, as maybe it isn't but foul smelling urine is not normal. If it is UTI very treatable and common for some women during pregnancy. Best of luck and I should add that if it is, it will not go away on it's own as burning, itching and irritation will be the following symptoms. Best to you with your pregnancy.

I think you've still got the UTI since you didn't take the medication as prescribed. You can't stop taking meds just 'coz I feel like I'm okay.'

I remember when I was pregnant, my urine was smelly as well... I remember I asked my midwife but I forgot what she said. I only remember to drink tones of water all the time.

You should ask the Dr. why this is happening. Ohhh this discussion is 2 years before means now you already born a child ehehe....congrats.

i strongly suggest you visit your OB because she's the best person that can give you advice regarding your concern but i sugeest wether your UTI is cured or not, drink lots and lots and lots of water and cranberry juice, you can also try coconut water and I know everything will be okay... just see the doctor as soon as possible and pee and when you have to pee, this helps washing your urinary tract off of germs or any unhelpful organisms...

In my pregnancies I got a bottle from my GP and gave a sample of my urine to my midwife for testing. One time she found protein in my urine and that got her concerned. She therefore sent me to hospital for extra testing. I think that you should speak to your midwife as soon as possible. Then she will be able to see why you have foul smelling urine. It might be a side affect of the antibiotics you had when you had a urinary infection. Good luck to you finding out about your problem.

i think it was just normal because i have heard also about it from my wife when she was pregnant then she also has something like that but doesnt feel anything abnormal...but its much better if you try to consult your ob-gyne just to make sure...

I'm sure you have delivered by now. I hope it was nothing serious perhaps you were just dehydrated or dehydrated along with the foods you've eaten?

i think that the best thing for you to do is would be to go talk to your doctor about this. In this situation, it couldn't hurt to consult your doctor. Especially as you are pregnant. It's never a bad idea, whether you're pregnant or not.

Hey ceres32, firstly congratulations on being pregnant you will be enjoying the feeling of being a mother in a few weeks. This is a great feeling for any one. As for the problem you are facing I must request you to take no chances and visit a doctor as fast as possible. I know many who took this kind of signs lightly and then had to suffer. Don't be scared and get to your gynecologist as soon as possible. Plz don't take any chances. Even if many ladies will say that they had such experience and its nothing to worry but still you should not take any chance as it may not be the same with every lady. So its in your own well being that you go to the expert and get a check up. Prevention is better than cure..take care

hello, I am not a doctor or an ob-gyne,but i am a mother of 3. You said that you are pregnant,and if you have previously have had UTI problem. I can say that you need to see a doctor and have your urine checked and so with your health,for your baby and yourself of course. Visit your doctor/ob-gyne as soon as possible dear. Have a great day and welcome to mylot

Hi, please see your OB again. Pregnant women are more prone to infections. And do not by any chance take certain medications w/c arent prescribed by your OB, it might affect your baby in anyway. So the best advice would be go and visit your doctor, better to be sure than sorry. Good luck! :)

I also don't have UTI before until I got pregnant in my first baby and I got UTI. My grandmother told me that pregnant women are prone to UTI and its normal but you have to remove your UTI. Medicines that prescribed by your OB can help and also drink water from coconut because water from it can help to cleanse our body specially our kidney and it is also good for you and to your baby. Just avoid eating too much junk foods, soft drinks, and salty foods. Happy Mylotting
