Your doctor won't give you simple antibiotics?

I call shenanigans.

Given the potential for bladder infections to turn into kidney infections if not treated appropriately and the havok they wreak on pregnancies, it seems shady that antibiotics wouldn't be given.

I've cleared up several UTIs with cranberry juice.  Make sure you take 100% cranberry juice and drink a lot of it (a little several times throughout the day).  Also drink a LOT of water.  A lot.  How bad are your symptoms, though?  I've always caught it early.  There are also cranberry juice supplements (pills) that you can take (but confirm w/your dr).

Agreed. There are antibiotics that are safe in pregnancy. The dangers of getting a kidney infection from an untreated UTI are too great to take the risk. I had a kidney infection when I was 19 and I had a fever over 103 degrees F and I was in the hospital for 4 days. Get a second opinion.

I'd be looking for another doctor. Untreated UTI's can quickly turn into much more serious bladder infections. It is far more dangerous to get a severe infection with a high fever that can land you in the hospital than it is to take a simple antibiotic and completely get rid of it. Many antibiotics are safe during pregnancy.

Your doctor is an idiot.

Bladder infections untreated lead to kidney infections, which lead to blood infections and a life threatening situation.

Go get antibiotics.
