Before you buy a giant bottle, text your OB or midwife. Say, “Hey, can I take cranberry pills for my UTI paranoia?” They’ll either give you a thumbs up or a better alternative.
Your doctor might recommend D-Mannose instead—it’s like cranberry’s cooler cousin, and it’s super safe during pregnancy. Or they’ll just tell you to hydrate like a camel on vacation.
Don’t rely on Dr. Google. He’s a liar who also told you that eating pickles at 3 AM means you’re having a boy. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
