Q: Kidney infection/pregnant

I think I have a kidney infection. My symptoms are a very bad lower back pain. I am drinking cranberry juice and lots of water. Has anyone else been pregnant and got a kidney infection? What else helps it?

I would definitely call/visit your doctor. Cranberry juice won't cure it, it only helps in preventing it. My friend had a double one, and was put on antibiotics, but I'm 100% if she was pregnant at the time.

you need to go to your doctor and get antibiotics. kidney infections are nothing to mess with while pregnant.

Cranberry juice will not cure a kidney/bladder infection. You'll need antibiotics.

You need to go to your doctors and have it checked out.
