Frequent UTIs after pregnancy

Athena

So it’s been almost two years since having my first baby and only pregnancy and since then I have had a both random lower abdominal cramps (through out the entirety of my cycle meaning not caused by my period) in addition to frequent UTIs that occur often and randomly. I am always prescribed macrobid and it’s just so annoying to take because it makes me feel nauseous and icky.. i have scheduled to see a bladder specialist for this issue but I wanted to know if this is normal and if anyone has experienced something similar and what was the outcome
