Whenever I get a UTI I have good luck by drinking a lot of cranberry
juice. Ask your doctor first, but it might be worth a shot. It does
something like change the pH of your urine, which shocks the bacteria
and makes it harder to grow, or something like that. Of course, I don't
know about doing this if you're pregnant. It can't hurt to ask.
