Do most doctors test you for uti?

Question

at every prenatal appointment? I've been feeling crampy lately but not burning (which i get really bad when I have a uti). I have an appointment Wednesday so I was wondering if they automatically check or if i should bring it up. I think it's probably just normal pains but I want to be sure.

Answer 1

NO YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR IT BEEN THERE DONE THAT.

Answer 2

You will have to bring it up. They do check for blood and protein in the urine at every check up, but they do not conclude it as a UTI. Another sample has to be sent to the lab first. Sometimes, if your symptoms are severe enough or the lytmus paper shows alot of protein and/or blood they will just give you the medicine. But you have to let them know of your symptoms.  

Answer 3

My doctor tests every appointment when they test for protein in the urine. Most doctors do because UTIs can put women at risk for pre-term labor and not all UTIs have symptoms.

I unfortunately had a UTI that their dip tests were not picking up. After having small contractions were finally got a urinalysis and voila! I have one! Contractions are gone now with macrobid! yay!
