Hey mama, totally valid concern yan! A few of us CS moms noticed na parang ang immune system natin is off for a while after, some got recurring infections, UTI-like symptoms, ubo sipon pa, kaya you're definitely not alone dito. The catheter during CS can sometimes irritate the urinary tract, and honestly ang body natin is recovering from major surgery so it takes time para bumalik ang usual defense, so that change you're noticing is actually pretty common. Best talaga to check with your OB about the UTI symptoms kasi although it sounds like just post-CS irritation, mas safe na confirm with a doctor para sure at ma-rule out any actual infection, pero good news is once you're further from your CS date, marami sa amin napansin na tumaas ulit ang immunity. Drink lots of water pa rin though, that really helps! Take care, mama!
