Oh and you cant take cranberry pills while pregnant anyways. I was going to get some and the dr said no and so did the pharmacist...

ya you need to get meds right away. cranberry juice will not help in aiding it clearing up but can help prevent them however you have to drink pure cranberry juice. i had 2 UTIs in a matter of a month and then ended up with a yeast infection right after that.... WOW no fun!! But call your dr and normally you can just take 1 pill a day or so for a week and it clears up. But like previous poster said it can travel to your kidney and you will end up in the hospital or it can harm your baby. Make sure you take an OTC pro biotic though so that you dont get a yeast infection also.

Hope it clears up soon cuz those are horrible. But drink lots and lots and lots of water also. It will help flush out the infection.

As others stated, you need antibiotics for a UTI - they only sell pain relief OTC and none will actually treat it. It's important to treat it soon, otherwise it can travel to other places including your kidneys.

Usually they prescibe u anti biotics and  I know that an uti hurts. I have had two and I'm 35w pregnant. Both times I had to take anti biotics. Stay away from caffiene and drink lots of water and gatorade. If u dnt get it treated right it can get worse and infect u and your baby.

you can try cranberry pills & most places should carry some type of over the counter relief . also make sure you're drinking lots of water . i'm prone to them , so i'm making sure i drink plenty water to prevent them since we go to the bathroom enough ! hope you find something :)
