I've never watched any of the previous Housewives shows, but since this one is in NJ, and I happened to catch a marathon this weekend.... I've lived in NJ almost my entire life and I can tell you, without question that MOST of the...

Mine was found when my mw did a routine urinalysis at my first visit. I imagine if you're peeing on sticks, you'll be able to see something elevated that would tip you or your mw off to a possible issue.

Not in your DDC, but just wanted to say that I'm really prone to UTI's and have gotten about one a year since I was about 9 years old. It sucks. Anyway, I had one early on in my last pregnancy, and it was the ONLY one I've ever had where...
