cranberry supplements?

i usually take a super cranberry supplement (2000 mg) a couple times a day because i get chronic utis and it really helps keep them at bay.

i didnt find out about the supplement until last year so i never took them during my first pregnancy.

so i guess i will probably ask my dr this, but im just wondering if anyone here takes a cranberry (or similar) supplement? i would assume its ok to take while pregnant, because its just concentrated cranberry, and the pharmacist said its safe while breastfeeding. so should i wait until i ask my dr, or does anyone have any input?

    I take cranberry supplements as well and never thought about that, but you bring up a good point!  I would guess they are safe, but I actually just googled it real quick and found this...

    I might hold off until asking the doctor just to be safe.   Well, I am going to at least do that, but I am also a worry wart!  Confused

    I don't take a supplement, but I drink a glass everyday. With my last pregancy I had a UTI and the Dr. told me to just drink some daily after I finished my meds. So thats what I have been doing ever since.

    My prenatal actually has some cranberry juice extract in it. I'm not sure if it will help as much as the stuff you take, but you might want to look into getting a prenatal that has some. It might help :)
