Pregnant Jana Kramer Reveals Bacterial Infection While On Vacation

Jana Kramer, the former One Tree Hill star and country singer, is sharing details of a recent hospital visit.

The pregnant Kramer, who is expecting with her fiancé, Allan Russell, took to Instagram to explain the situation.

“First off and most important, baby is good,” she assured her two million followers.

“The back pain I’ve been dealing with for weeks wasn’t just back pain,” she wrote. “Lesson number one… don’t just brush off pain, because it can be more serious than u think. So many times (moms especially) just brush off pain because we are the last ones to take care of ourselves. When I posted about my back hurting a week ago, I just had chalked it up to pregnancy and didn’t tell the doctors because back pain is ‘normal’ so ‘don’t be a wimp’ is what I thought. Then someone very sweet in my dms sent me a message that it could possibly be my kidney.”

Kramer said that once she and Russell touched down in Florida, she couldn’t handle the pain anymore and went immediately to the hospital, where she found out she had a bacterial infection. 

“Long story short, it was a bad bacterial infection that got into the kidneys,” she shared. “This resulted in a two-day stay in hospital and antibiotics because I let it get passed where I should have.”

She told her followers to listen to their bodies if they are in pain. Kramer posted a follow-up picture showing moments of her time in Florida.

Kramer is expecting her first child with Russell. She has two children with her ex, former NFL star Mike Caussin, while Russell has a teenage son from a previous relationship.
