Water also is a huge help. I also found preventatives which may help you.
You may do everything right and still experience a urinary tract infection, but you can reduce the likelihood by doing the following:

Drink 6-8 glasses of water each day and unsweetened cranberry juice regularly.
Eliminate refined foods, fruit juices, caffeine, alcohol, and sugar.
Take Vitamin C (250 to 500 mg), Beta-carotene (25,000 to 50,000 IU per day) and Zinc (30-50 mg per day) to help fight infection.
Develop a habit of urinating as soon as the need is felt and empty your bladder completely when you urinate.
Urinate before and after intercourse.
Avoid intercourse while you are being treated for an UTI.
After urinating, blot dry (do not rub), and keep your genital area clean. Make sure you wipe from the front toward the back.
Avoid using strong soaps, douches, antiseptic creams, feminine hygiene sprays, and powders.
Change underwear and pantyhose every day.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting pants.
Wear all cotton or cotton-crotch underwear and pantyhose.
Don't soak in the bathtub longer than 30 minutes or more than twice a day.

There are really no natural remedies for UTIs - there are things you can do to reduce the pain (cranberry juice) but it doesn't treat the infection.

There are a few antibiotics that can be given to pregnant women with a UTI. The most common ones that treat UTIs are not to be given to pregnant women, but there are alternatives - you need to talk to your OB=GYN to get a prescription.

if you are in india, make barley drink by boiling 2 cups of barley in about 2 litres of water. you can sweeten it if you want. avoid spicy and hot food. sometimes if you boil 5/6 radish leaves in 1 litre of water and have it, it helps. eating yoghurt, cucumber and bananas is helpful. i have tried eating 1 vitamin C tablet every night before sleeping. if you get an infection get it treated immediately by a doctor and then try the home remedies. drinking plain soda water (half a glass) after meals is also helpful. don't try to hold urine, go as soon as you feel like and go many times. drink at least 3 litres of water (juice, tea, milk don't count but have them as well). i have been suffering from this problem for so many years and only recently found relief. i try most of the home remedies and if i feel that the symptoms are starting, i start drinking a lot of water, avoid spicy food. and i have been eating 1 vitamin C tablet for the last 2 months. the urine must not get very acidic so avoid too much of citric foods but a little bit of acidicity in urine is important to kill bacteria. i could never figure out how much was okay, so i avoid acidic foods and keep up with the single Vitamin C tablet. best of luck with your baby.

Just drink cranberry juice or another type of acidic juice. I dislike fruit juice so I drink V-8 which works too. Or they sell cranberry tablets that you can take while pregnant.

EDIT:

By the way "best answer" guy said you can not take antibiotics when you pregnant that's ridiculous. You can take antibiotics so if you choose to go to your DR. he/she will prescribe them for you. But your question was for natural remedies. If it is a minor infection you can cure it by drinking juice. I know from personal experience and from being a nurse. I've had only one urinary tract infection in my life and it hurt so bad I had no idea what it was and I had no medical insurance and my best friend's mom told me to drink acidic juice. I don't like fruit juices so drank lots of water and V-8 and it did disappear.

cranberry juice? It's the tannins. I know it's good for the urinary tract. I have no idea if it's good for an acute infection of how much you'd need to drink

You can not treat your disease with drinking juice. Drinking fluids is good any how, but it is not a treatment for UTI. As you are pregnant, you can not take usual antibiotics. So better you consult with your doctor, and undergo treatment.

try drinking cranberry juice! it helps to flush out your urinary tact, its good for you, and it tastes good!

I've heard cranberry juice is EXCELLENT for urinary tract infections. Good luck!!
