Also cipro has always made me sick to my stomach so try to eat a small meal when you take it

I am a cronic uti sufferer... I have slow processing kidneys and i can tell you first hand nothing is worse than suffering a uti while pregnant.. Cranberry juice does helo but becareful not to overdue it because too much can cause stomach issues and diahrea.. Ask your ob if you can take azo pills.. They are sold over the counter to ease the bladder contractions and they are miracle pills. They will turn your pee bright orange however but they are amazing!

Take a cranberry supplement instead of drinking the juice, that's what my dr recommended in conjunction with antibiotics
