She had recently taken a home UTI test—and the results were positive. To confirm, she visited her OB-GYN, who ran a routine urine test. The results showed 1+ leukocytes, which the doctor reassured her was common during pregnancy and likely the reason the at-home test flagged it.
Still, she couldn’t ignore what her body was telling her. She was experiencing more than the typical pregnancy urgency—there was frequency and discomfort that felt different. Trusting her instincts, she took matters into her own hands while staying cautious.
She increased her water intake significantly and turned to 100% unsweetened cranberry juice, a remedy often passed down between women for generations. To her relief, the symptoms began to ease.
