Hey everyone I am 24 weeks pregnant, my doctor thinks that I may have either a bladder or kidney infection but since I am a high risk pregnancy further testing is not allowed. So what can I do naturally to get this pain to go away. I refuse to take medication unless it is life or death so if you have any opinion on this please inform me!!! I have no CLUE!

Excuse me? Your doctor is refusing to do additional testing because your pregnancy is high risk? Get a second opinion NOW. One of the possible complications of an untreated bladder infection in pregnant women is delivering low birth weight or premature infants. It can also cause permanent kidney damage or sepsis, which is life-threatening.
