Water Infection

Does anyone know if a pharmacist would be willing to prescribe antibiotics to someone who is pregnant? I’m starting to think I might have a water infection and the GP will be closed all weekend. The only other thing I can think of doing is calling the maternity line, but that doesn’t really seem very urgent to me. Just wondering if anyone has had any success with a pharmacist before? Thanks

Hey I had the same issue a few weeks back I went to the pharmacy they said they can’t do anything for pregnant women told me to speak to the receptionist at the doctors she then went and spoke to a gp and they advised to go to a&e hope this helps xx

I ended up going to triage, they gave me and baby a full check over and gave me antibiotics there and then.

I used to work for a pharmacy, they will not do it for pregnant women, it's a risk they're not willing to take incase anything happened, ring triage and they should be able to sort it for you x

You won’t get anything from the pharmacist, but you could ring triage and ask them because they’ll have a doctor there that can prescribe stuff after they’ve checked your urine. Or ring your doctors on Monday and drink cranberry juice and stay hydrated till then xx

I’d ring 111 and get an out of hours app. Best of luck :)

I’d call 111, you’ll get a gp appointment !

Thank you all for your advice ❤️ that’s really helpful. I don’t know if it’s a water infection or just pressure from the baby, but it’s getting really uncomfortable. So perhaps I’ll see if triage want to check me over rather than guessing with someone over the phone. Thanks again 🙂

Same happen to me a called 111 and got a walk in appointment. But triage can help aswell xx

I’d definitely ring 111 maybe to seek advice especially if your having a bit of stinging when your passing urine it’s always best to get checked x

What’s water infection? Like infection from drinking water? Or as in your water broke?
