Hey everyone! When I went to the doc
again yesterday he told me I have a
bladder infection. . He said not to
worry because its very common in pregnant
women because of their changing hormones
(i had no symptoms at all) but now im
wondering , im on these antibiotics for a
week. .Should I refrain from havin sex or
doing anything sexual with my boyfriend
until my bladder infection is gone and
meds are done??? Thanks!

I've had a few bladder infections, and it
would be best not to do anything sexual,
but it only takes a few days to clear up
so you shouldnt notice much. Drink a ton
of water every day to keep things flowing,
and if you can try to eat dried
cranberries or drink cranberry juice, its
great for bladder infections, some kind of
anti-oxident that cleans things real good

Sexual intercourse can cause or make a
bladder infection worse. Semen can get
into your urethra and cause an infection.
It is obviously not contagious. I don't
think it would be a major deal if you had
sex because your already on antibiotics,
so it wont make it worse.

Ok everyone thank u so much! But I ran
into a problem! I was with my boyfriend.
.Things got a little carried away. . I
told him no sex.. Well we didnt have sex.
.But he did finger me (sorry tmi I know
it sounds gross) anyhow his hands were
pretty clean cuz he had just taken a
shower a half hour b4 that. .But then I
felt so bad for letting him do that while
I was on my antibiotics and made him stop
and I right away went and peed and tried
to wipe around the area. I also bought
cranberries and cranberry juice.. I hope
ididnt mess it up by doing this today with
him!! I wont again till im done with the
meds!
