What if I have a urine infection in the first week of pregnancy?

Urinary tract infection is a common occurrence in pregnant women. It is important to receive antibiotic treatment as soon as possible so that it does not affect the pregnancy or the fetus.

If you are seeking pregnancy in the first week of your menstrual cycle, you should ideally take into account some recommendations to avoid getting a urinary tract infection in early pregnancy:

  • Drink lots of water and urinate frequently
  • Take good care of intimate hygiene, from the vagina to the anus
  • Empty your bladder after sexual intercourse
  • Don't use soaps or detergents that could irritate the area.

It is also important to maintain these habits during pregnancy in order to prevent urinary tract infections.
