This is the 5th pregnancy that I have made it this far. I am currently 31 weeks and since I had a (torturous) ultrasound on Monday, I feel like I have a UTI. I say torturous because unlike the u/s I had in the previous weeks at a different clinic, I had to keep the REALLY full bladder for a while. I was having a hard time staying out of the bathroom anyway because of some digestive upset and gassiness (sp?).
I called in the next day because it didn't fet better (I thought it might have just been the circumstances and gave it time to go away) and I talked to a pretty condescending nurse who tried to convince me that it was the baby's head rubbing against my pubic bone. I said that it wasn't, I can differentiate the feelings and this was new since the u/s and it really felt like a UTI or some sort of infection. No noticeable fever (I get hotflashes easily anyway, with this pregnancy). I haven't noticed any troubling cervical mucus).
I take the urine test and I am called the next day (Wednesday) and she asks me what is going on, what's up, like this was some excuse on my part to get their attention or something. I have dealt with this nurse before and she tends to be like that. She says there is no uti and again tries to convince me it is the baby's head. I ask if it is possible that it is some other infection going on and she kind of brushes it off and mentions her baby theory again.
I REALLY don't like dealing with these people but I am pretty sure that this isn't the baby causing this particular sensation. It hurts like a UTI but I am not peeing as frequently as I imagine I would with one (it has been quite some time but I do remember it being exquisitly painful).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For the record, I have had horrible experiences with this clinic but with this pregnancy, with the exception of this nurse, things have gone pretty well.
