Question 1

I've been dealing with a urine infection ever since I got pregnant and I'm 25 years old, currently 23 weeks along. My recent routine report showed RBC at 24, epithelial cells at 25-30, and pus cells at 10-15. Everything else seems to be in the normal range. I'm really concerned about these numbers and not sure what they mean for my pregnancy. Could this be harmful to my baby, and what should I do about it?

Question 3

Im currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant but started bleeding two days ago. My urine test still shows that Im pregnant. Should I be worried about the bleeding, or is this something that can happen early in pregnancy? What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding during pregnancy can be alarming, but it's common, especially in the first trimester, affecting up to 25% of women.  Since your urine test still shows you're pregnant, it's essential to consult your healthcare provider to determine the cause and ensure your baby's health. They may perform an ultrasound and physical exam to assess the situation. In the meantime, keep track of the bleeding's color, consistency, and amount, as well as any other symptoms like cramping or pain
