My very first UTI! blahhhhh

I have been miserable for the past 48 hours, pain in my lower abdomen and lower back, burning when I pee, feeling like I have to pee all the time and not much comes out...fever, chills...the works.
Today I finally gave in and went to my doc, and low and behold I have a urinary track infection...never had one before and never want one again, this stinks!
The doc checked my urine and then checked my cervix to make sure it was closed so she sticks her fingers so far I thought they were going to come out of my nose and then she commented "your cervix is beautiful" (only a doc could get away with that one)
Now I"m on nasty cranberry juice and antibiotics 4x a day......blah, but at least I got to hear the baby again and get to go back next week for a follow up and I"m sure she'll let me hear my pumpkin again.............at least there are some perks.

That sucks. My first UTI came on so fast it started around 3 and by 7 I was bothering the emergency room nurses because I was bleeding every time I pee'd. Sucks bad. Although I have to say that I've had a couple since and never as bad as the first. Good luck honey, give the belly a rub for me ;)
