Try to go into an Urgent Care center if you have one in your area. UTIs are not something to mess around with while you are pregnant. You need to be started on antibiotics immediately. The only natural remedy I can think of for you is cranberry juice, but it won't be as effective as an antibiotic. Call your OB doctor and see if he can get you in sooner. Good luck.

Pure cranberry juice. Look it up on the internet, if you would like. It's also available in capsules at health food stores - but it's far more effective in the juice form. Make sure to avoid any sweetened cranberry juice- unsweetened is kind of bitter and hard to take but it's what'll get the job done right.

Lots and lots of water and cranberry juice. If the symptoms continue you need to see a doctor for an antibiotic.

you need to call your doctor, if you can't reach him/her, you can get ahold of the on-call doc, you don't want to mess around with a UTI when you are pregnant, it can seriously screw up your kidneys and body, making you way sicker than you need to be. Drink lots of fluids, including cranberry juice, DO NOT USE PYRIDIUM or any over the counter UTI pain relief, they are not good for the baby. The only cure for a UTI is antibiotics.

First, stop drinking anything that has caffeine. Next, drink Cranberry juice and water. If you have pain still, I recommend going to the Pharmacy and getting AZO, it's an over-the-counter pain reliever for UTIs, but CHECK WITH YOUR DR. first as I'm not sure if it is safe for pregnant women. Good luck!

Definitely a lot of water and cranberry juice. This should do the trick until you see your doctor, but make sure you see your doctor.

I have been in the same situation. The absolute best thing to do is get the over-the-counter medicine "Uristat". It is not harmful for pregnant women and has no side effects though it will turn your urine orange. However, after the first dose, you can tell a big difference

Go see your doctor now. You are pregnant, you have to make sure that your baby is OK. Your doc will be able to fit you in. Besides, do you want to be in that much pain for another two days?

100% cranberry juice (not cocktail) will help with your UTI, but keep in mind that it probably wont cure in 2 days. Also, try to drink lots and lots of water.
I hope you feel better soon.
