I think u shud contact ur doctors again to get it sorted before u get in any more discomfort ... I was blessed I only had 2 kidney infections but there is nothing more worse especially wen pregnant and getting one due to pressure on ur bladder , i have constant lower  back pain and cramps in my sides due to pressure of baby growing

At the start of my pregnancy I had gotta 2 in the space of a month with been cleared and came back again I went to my gp and they just gave me a course of antibiotics and I haven't had one since and I'm 37 weeks now my doctor told me its very common to get kidney infections during pregnancy due to the changes in ur body and hormone levels

Yes I got one at 25 weeks preggo with my son. It sent me into preterm labor they didn't catch it when I first went to the hospital on Friday night I spent 6 hours there and had two bags of iv fluids. I ended up in even more pain Saturday evening and they admitted me and finally realized it was a kidney infection. I spent from Saturday night until Wednesday afternoon. I was on iv antibiotics and iv fluids the whole time. I was discharged with instructions for modified bed rest and had to take macrobid the rest of my pregnancy to avoid it reoccurring. I ended up having my son at 35 weeks.

I've always been perfectly healthy but ended up with one in each pregnancy.  UTIs are very common in pregnancy and cause kidney infections when left untreated.  With my first it came on so fast I thought I was having premature labor. Lol
