Pain while urinating?? I just tested and don't have a UTI, but I've been having pain while urinating... if I hold it ,…

I am 11 weeks ! I think it really was the stretching from the twins in combination with my tremendously swollen ovaries bc it keeps getting better every day . I did have a culture and it came back negative .. but I will definitely be vigilant of the issue seeing how many of you had issues :/ glad you are all feeling better now

How far along are you?

Rcasey, that's awful! But I'm glad your symptoms have eased up. It's very painful, I can't wait until I have my baby.

BigMamma4, bladder infections suck. Sorry you had to go through that.

Mrs1977 I have IC as well, but got it before my last pregnancy, and surprisingly it slowly went away while pregnant, had a few flare ups in the last 2.5 years and 2 utis, but no major flare ups thank god! It's awful!

I have had so many bladder infections in my pregnancys im pregnant with my 6th child. I remember with my first pregnancy I got tested at the hospital and they said no bladder infection. I had to go to another hospital in the city I was high risk and my dr did a culture and turned out I did have one.

Last pregnancy I was so sure I had a bladder infection had burning after peeing but no bladder infection according to my doctor.

You're welcome Soleil15, the pain usually bothers me more when I'm asleep. I was reading that acidic foods and drinks make it worse. I drink plenty of water and mint tea. It's irritating, I could be holding a few drops of pee and it still hurts smh. I'm happy to hear it's not bothering you as much anymore :-)

Thanks for the info mrs! Thankfully it's getting better every day for me. I only have the pain now at night when I hold in my pee while sleeping and it's not as strong as before. Maybe that's what I have? I'm going to read more about it . Hope u are doing better now !

My OB/GYN says I have bladder pain syndrome. I had it with my last pregnancy too. After I delivered, it went away. It's painful and always feels like I have a UTI. It's more bothersome when I'm sleeping. Interstitial cystitis (IC)bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is a chronic bladder health issue. It is a feeling of pain and pressure in the bladder area. Along with this pain are lower urinary tract symptoms which have lasted for more than 6 weeks, without having an infection or other clear causes.

They did a culture today but doctor said it's probably pain from the twins, uterus, bladder, AND colon competing for space! I still have the pain though :/

I'm feeling a little better today but going to doctor tomorrow and will ask about cultures. Thank you!

I would get cultured because I had auti that didn't show up on the strips but was positive for culture... don't wait until it reached the kidneys like mines did....

Are you drinking enough water?
