Drink a lot of cranberry juice! It helps!

Cranberry works for me too!

And besides that, drinking lots of water will do! Call me old school but it does work!

Oh, that cotrimoxazole is a scary antibiotic. Whether having a UTI or not, still best to consult your OB for any weird stuff you feel when pregnant. Taking a med based on your general thinking that it's safe is very dangerous...

Thanks for letting me know about how cranberry cures UTI.

Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with around 7 to 8 oz of water. Better if it tastes yucky coz it means that it will be effective in increasing the PH levels of the acidic urine while having a UTI. Yucky tasting but definitely cheaper and safe!

I'll surely keep this in mind. I opt gross tasting natural remedies over meds that are considered "safe" to be taken while pregnant. Better safe than sorry.
