No, bacterial infections can definitely cause cramping/contractions, its one reason UTIs are dangerous. The antibiotics are the right start. Give them a day or two to work completely, make sure you take all of them, but if the symptoms start to come back (either before or after you finish the course) or don't completely go away after a couple days call your doc again, you may have a resistant strain, or there could be another underlying problem.
