Pain when urinating only in morning? ~ update

[splath]

When I get up to pee in the middle of the night/early morning, I have some burning that feels similar to when I've had a UTI before, however, I don't have any pain at all any other time of the day. Is it still probably a UTI? No temp or anything. I have a midwife appointment on Thursday and will ask then, but just wondered if anyone else has experienced the same.

I have had UTIs with no symptoms at all (just got over one actually) so I would have to say YES, it probably still is a UTI!

Its worth getting tested just to be sure. It really could be nothing, but I wouldn't risk it with something so quick and easy to take care of!

They dont always require antibiotics.

If the cases I have had havent been raging (as in, if we caught them earlier) I would have been fine with a lot of water, cranberry pills and laying off sugar for a while. However, mine have either been so severe that I am in tears from pain or my doctor is amazed that I dont feel anything at all!

I have this, too, and just got tested for a UTI and it was totally clear of infection. I seem to battle feeling symptoms of a UTI/preterm contractions every time I am pregnant, but have never actually been diagnosed with an infection. Just another miserable pregnancy symptom...

Just to update, I did not have a UTI. My midwife said it's probably due to being slightly dehydrated. When I upped my water it went away, and when I didn't drink enough yesterday, it was back this morning.

This makes sense to me, as I have really bad reflux and I cannot drink or eat anything for at least two hours before bed, so by morning I am dying for a drink and likely dehydrated. I start all over in the morning and have to get in around 64-96oz by 8pm or I get behind on my water intake. All I can do is try to stay on top of it.
