Sorry for TMI but cant get dr app need advice

[haze]

So sorry for TMI I think I have cystitis, it doesn't sting when I pee but it stings when I wipe after (sorry TMI) and for ages after. It doesn't itch or anything. Is that cystitis?
I can't ring the dr's until moday and they normally don't have appointments until for 1 or 2 days so the soonest I can get an appoinment is probably Tues.
Is there anything I can do to stop the stinging? Or to try and help it at all until I can get to the drs?

Noooooo I had one of those with ds it was awful. I'll get dh to pick up a couple of bottles of water on the way home from his work xmas party (if he's in any fit state lol).

cystitus would mean you had a desire to pee all the time and not a lot coming out.

Could be a yeast infection. I've had them with no itching before just burning. So sorry hun! Call your doc as soon as you can but try not to worry! Good luck!

Then it probably is cystitus. Lots of water and cranberry juice. There are over the counter remedies (check with the chemist) but the one that works for me is a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water. I have no idea if apple cider vinegar is safe to use in pg or not though.

drink cranberry juice and lots of water to help flush it all out if it is a bladder infection.

aww hope you feel beter soon

just a peice of advise form someone who constantly suffered from cystitus previous to being preg. Buy cranberry juiice NOT cranberry juice drink. Cranberry juice drink is watered down and does not help as much as cranberry juice (ocean spray do a good one you find it in the chilled section if you are in the UK?!?)

Another bit of advice on the cranberry juice, only the pure non sweetened one helps. The sugared ones can make matters worse. Def call your doc and explain that you are pregnant and may have a UTI or some other infection and see if they can get you in sooner as it's best addressed as quickly as possible.
To help relieve the situation as well, try and keep a jug or bottle of water in the bathroom to rinse after going to the toilet and then just dab the area dry as this will stop the usual manner of wiping which can make the area more irritable.
Hope you feel better soon!
