Bladder Infection?
Last night in the middle of the night I kept getting up B/C I felt like I needed to go pee. I would go and then towards the end I would get this super uncomfertable feeling. I am not sure if its a bladder infection B/C I have never had one before. We are currently trying to get pregnant and I am not sure if there is just some stuff going on. (Like the egg implanting)Has anyone experienced this before? Today has been a little better but I am still having the uncomfertable feeling.
So What Happened?™
I went to the Dr's today and yes it was a bladder infection. Thanks for all of your help!

I never had a badder infection until I got pregnant. Sounds like you may have one.Cranberry juice is great for that.Also take a pregnancy test; you never know. :)

Yep, sounds like you have a bladder infection. Basically it feels like you have to go all the time and when you do right near the end it is somewhat painful. Go to the Dr and he'll prescribe something for you, you do not want it to get worse!

Yes. That sounds like a bladder infection. If you try taking alka seltzer right away (very first sign) then it can relieve it sometimes. If you are still experiencing it, then be sure and go to the doctor. They can be come very painful.

Yes, sounds like an infection to me. Drink a lot of dark juices! Cranberry is best for this! And good luck on the concieving! Happy Holidays!

Sounds exactly like a bladder infection to me. I get a lot of them due to my MS. Drink a ton of cranberry or blueberry juice, as unsweetened as possible.

Could be a UTI caused by intercourse
J.F. answers from Los Angeles on December 20, 2007
If there is any chance you have a bladder infection, you should go see your doctor, as you want to keep that area as healthy as possible while you are trying to concieve.
Also, FYI, cranberry juice or pills only helps prevent bladder infections if they are taken regularly before an infection, as it changes the PH of your bladder. It will do nothing to help combat an infection. It may seem like it helps, but that is only because you are increasing your liquids (water is best) which actually does help fight the infection.
Good luck baby making, have fun!

E.,
Make sure that you are checked out since a bladder infection can get up into your kidneys and not be fun. Also, since you are extra active now trying to get pregnant, lots of bacteria can be pushed up into your urethra and so bladder infections are more common then. Going pee after intercourse has helped me not get another infection. Good luck....Also drinking straight cranberry juice is a good remedy and prevention.
Good luck,

I use Usnea tincture to get rid of bladder infections. I have used it while breast feeding without any complications.
