My bladder is killing me a lot of the time. It feels very painful. At the moment I have a constant UTI, and have one course of antibiotics after another. Im sure this cant be doing me or the baby much good. I do ISC about 5 times a day. Although my main problem is that Im 'over continent', I have wet myself a few times, today in particular. I now tend to wet myself almost every morning when I get up. I think this is due to a VERY full bladder and one movement and pressure does its own thing.

I think this is pretty much a pregnancy thing as women tend to have bladder problems a lot when expecting. But Im thinking I cant go on for another 6 months or so like this. I feel and look pale and pasty as a result. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of asking my urologist for an indwelling until after the birth. Would this be possible do you know?

Help help help!!!! Apart from this everything is fine, but I really need to deal with this as its only getting worse.

thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,

This may help read all about it first it has a great success rate and its natural www.waterfall-d-mannose.com/ then should you decide on buying it go to www.ebay.co.uk and search for d-mannose as it’s a lot cheaper there.

Hope this helps,

Jimmy.

That sounds like a good idea to me. As I understand it the main reason NOT to have an indwelling is the risk of infection. (and you've already got that) And I know you have tried other methods. Have any of the lab studies explained why the infection won't clear up?
