I am 16 weeks 1 day. I went into the clinic today think ling I had an infection. The doctor said I had trace of blood in my urine as well as white blood cells. What does this mean? I also have out of alignment something in my back.

Also as she said above could be a kidney stone or infection :( hope you feel better soon!

White blood cells does mean there is an infection. Doesnt mean its an std tho. Could be a uti or bacterial infection both very common in pregnancy. They should have told you. But blood in urine usually means a bad uti which can also cause severe back pain. I'm not trying to sound.like a know it all but I've had has utis thru all of my pregnancies this is my third.

You most likely have a UTI. Your doctor may be waiting to treat you with antibiotics until the culture comes back. Thr culture takes about 3 days and will tell you what kind of bacteria if growing and how much of it there is. It will also tell the doctor which antibiotic will be most effective. Then the doctor picks one that is safe for you in baby. The sample may also be contaminated so the culture will tell you that too. Drink lots of water and cranberry juice.

I went to the er last night bc I had back pain and the found blood in my urine and I have a kidney stone. If you are feeling any back pain you may have a kidney stone.

I don't have an std or infection. They checked at my first appointment for stds and they sent my urine over to the hospital today and there was no infection.

Um sounds like std uti either or white blood cells fight off infections and so forth
