Debra - 974 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) frequency with urination is normal with pregnancy- but you should be able to resist needing to pee ALL the time. You should get checked out for a UTI. Towards the end of your pregnancy, the weight of the baby may make it hard to pee and cause you to retain urine- and have to pee all the time because of the pressure as well. Yeast infections are VERY common in pregnancy and the main cause of breast infections such as mastitis as well. I highly recommend that you go to the supplement store and start taking a pro biotic- specifically acidophilous. It restores healthy bacteria to your gut, making it less susceptible to yeast growth. You should also make sure you are drinking plenty of water to make sure that you are flushing out your kidneys and bladder to prevent any infection from travelling up the ureters into the bladder. You should also try to reduce your infection rate by making sure before you have sex, both you - and especially your partner are both clean and fresh. Also try to pee after sex as this will prevent bacteria from travelling into your bladder. You do not need to have burning pain to have a UTI. It also usually doesn't smell. When its at the point of burning, or if you see blood- its gotten to the point where the infection is going towards the kidneys and this is dangerous. Please go to see your doctors. Or message me if you have any other specific questions. I'm a Registered Nurse.

OKaylaO - 974 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) UTIs don't always cause you to burn or cause the urine to be strong. I had the symptoms that you are explaining and kept thinking it was nothing, then starting having ALOT of pressure, sure enough it was a UTI. I'm 23 weeks and still pee all the time. Lol.
