jade turns 5 in sept and has been potty trained since she turned 3. This morning she peed in her chair while eating breakfast. I just took that as her being groggy since i had to wake her up. And then she peed again in her carseat an hr later. So she was awake and with it. I asked if it hurt to pee and she said it didnt. Could she have a uti? She hasnt had accidents in over a year. i had her pee in the toilet and her pee was slightly cloudy and a light yellow. It also stank up the entire bathroom. Im pushing water and if there's another accident, i will definitely take her to the walk in. I pushed on her tummy and back and asked if it hurt or felt weird and she said that she felt fine.

I think if she had a uti, it would hurt a lot.

That's always my only clue DD has one. I would take her in.
If DD has even one accident I am making an appointment, lol. She is prone to them for some reason!

She can still have a uti without the burning.  Frequency is a sign of one. Does her urine look different as in darker or has a different odor?  Sometimes there is no pain or burning when they go to the bathroom unless there may be  a kidney infection. Does she have any mid to lower back pain or is it tender to the touch? Just to be on the safe side, I'd have her checked.

I dont want them to be all "she had some accident. Nbd." we're on the bus now (not to a clinic) but if she has another accident, ill take her in.

They won't say that. Trust me.
I go through this often with DD.

I don't think they would say that, but I don't know the drs you might go to.  If I heard a dr say that, he wouldn't be my child's dr anymore. Hope it's not a uti for you lo's sake.  Please update and let us know
