Bladder/yeast infection

Hello!

Does anyone have any tips/tricks to help naturally rid of a uti and yeast infection? I would prefer not to take medication. 

Thanks in advance.

You can’t be serious…..Not treating a bacterial infection is way more dangerous than any antibiotic.

Take the damn meds! You are subjecting your baby to more harm NOT taking the antibiotics than trying to treat it "naturally."  It is common in pregnancy to get these issues an antibiotics will help you!

Having had pyelonephritis (a kidney infection) from an untreated UTI when not pregnant, trust me: go get the medications. Oral antibiotics now are a lot better than a 104 degree fever, IV antibiotics, and pain so bad you puke so you also need dilaudid and an antiemetic during your 3 day hospital stay later. 

Plus, UTIs can contribute to preterm labor. I’m all for avoiding the overuse of antibiotics, but a UTI is one of those cases where the antibiotics are absolutely necessary, especially during pregnancy.

Just in case you are self-diagnosing, I want to add you really need to get an appointment with your OB if you haven’t already.
