Natural cures for bladder infections during pregnancy may be desirable for several reasons, but the main one might be because you want to avoid exposing your baby to drugs that might affect its development.
During pregnancy, bladder infections or UTIs (urinary tract infections) are very common.
As the fetus grows, the bladder is pressed upon by an expanding uterus and must, in general, deal with far
more fluids, making you urinate more frequently.
However, the bladder may not always empty
fully, so infections of the bladder are even more common, which may need to be treated with antibiotics.
As you wish to avoid taking any unnecessary medication, you want to prevent these problems as much as
possible, hence the need to look closely at your nutrition especially during your pregnancy and see whether
natural cures for bladder infections are suitable for you.
Other components in cranberry juice prevent bacteria from adhering to the lining of the bladder. If sugar-free cranberry juice is not available, cranberry capsules can be substituted. always take them with a large glass of water.
Bilberries are a type of blueberries and are also good.
A website on pregnancy that I find extremely useful is Pregnancy Friend by Jo Walker. It's packed
full of advice and information, do have a look at it!
