Is This Normal During First Trimester?

Sounds as if your course of antibiotics did not get rid of your infection. Sounds as if you need another UA. Go in and get another round or have them maybe get you a new antibiotic. Untreated UTI's lead to bladder infections which lead to preterm contractions and also leads to kidney infections. Sounds as if you are an asysmtomatic UTI host anyway, so just go and and get another UA. Cranberry juice is a good thing to drink during and after the infection, but will not take care of the infection; especially since it sounds like you have some resistant little buggers there. Sounds like you probably never got rid of it. Many times a course of antibiotics make the infection better but does not clear it up and therefore you may not get symtoms until it has grown and grown. Yes, we get fetal heartbeats at 6 weeks gestation which means now you will for sure have a strong fetal heartbeat on any correctly implanted, growing fetus, but does not mean that the infection is not there. By the time an infection disturbs the baby's heartbeat, it is too late. A positive regular fetal heart rate is not an indicator you do not have an infection. So just pop in to your OB/Gyn in the AM and have them run an UA. (Call first of course) but it is pretty routine.

I would go back to the doctor and have it checked out. The antibiotic might not be doing anything for you. I've been prescribed amoxicillin so many times for ear infections and sinus infections that it did nothing for M. when I ended up with one during my pregnancy.

Also, its been a while since I've had one, so I really couldn't tell you if a yeast infection would cause this but its an idea and I've heard its common with pregnant women taking antibiotics. The doctor will be able to help you with that though, its your best bet.
Just a tip though, load up on the cranberry juice for uti's (try to get one with minimal sugar) and yogurt! Yogurt will give you an edge on fighting yeast infections. I've heard that greek yogurt is excellent for pregnant women so that might be a great one for you to try.

Later on though you will experience what so many friends nostalgically referred to as "ECP" or "evil crotch pain" because when your uterus begins to grow you will get light shooting pains down there. I think I experienced it around 16 or so weeks. It was never severe though.

Happy and healthy rest of your 9 months to you!

I would get checked out for a UTI again just to be sure.. it certainly could be it.. I have a friend that when she is pregnant she gets varicose veins in her groin/vaginal area. It is fairly common in pregnancies and it could also cause you discomfort. You could also ask about that as well.. I hope you can figure it out.

Drink cranberry juice! It really does help if you have a UTI and even if you don't its still good for you. If you don't do well on the antibiotics ask the doctor if you can try just cranberry juice for a week and see if it clears up on its own.
