Check with a health professional.
Acidify your urine for an uncomplicated bladder infection with something like cranberry juice. again check with your health care provider

Go to your doctor and get a prescription for an antibiotic. You can also drink cranberry juice. That won't cure it totally, but it will flush out your kidneys, if it's a kidney infection you have. The only way to be certain is to see your doctor and have a urinalysis done. Don't mess around with over-the-counter stuff...you could harm your baby.

I would say drink LOTS of liquids like water and cranberry juice to try and flush out your system - other then that, check with your doctor. My friend had kidney stones when she was pregnant and just had to deal with it because the medicine could have effected teh baby. Ask the doctor though

If you have a bladder infection drink lots and lots of Cranberry juice. Trust me it works. Also I feel that natural vanilla yogurt works. Hope you feel better if you have it.

Ask your OB/GYN if you can take AZO Standard, which is an over-the-counter medicine for Uriniary Tract Infections, but MAY work for your issue. Additionally, drink a great quantity of cranberry juice.

Cranberry juice, orange juice, grape fruit; My daughter has been treated for years with these infections, she even had surgery; but the only effective treatment came after changing her diet and increasing her intake of acidic foods.
Good luck. Hope you feel better.

I had several while pregnant. My doctor gave me meds for it. He also suggested eating lots of yogurt with active cultures and drink LOTS of fluids to prevent them in the future.
