   Hi there,
 Just wondering if anyone has had them during pregnancy and what have you taken to cure this?  I think that I may have it at the moment so going to get it checked out.
 
 TIA

   Oooh, oooh, pick me! I had so many during my pregnancy with Maya that I now have to take prophylactic antibiotics during pregnancy to prevent further infections. They are really common during pregnancy, and there are a few meds which are safe to take, the one I take is called nitrofurantoin.

   and parsley tea - infuse fresh parsley, strain, then try telling yourself it's a 'tea' and drink up.  Not bad once you're used to it  |

   Mm parsley tea.. Yummy! lol
Oh with the cider vinegar you just need a table spoon when you feel the eed to pee.. it works by working on the acidity of the pee so that when it enters the unrinary tract its less acidic and can allow your UT to heal.
 (ps. IM diabetic and believe me: these are the bain of any diabetic!!!)
