if you are concerned go and get tested for a kidney infection or uti.
peeing is part of pregnancy and so is stomach and back pain so you may not have an infection but pregnancy symptoms.

best wishes i hope you dont have an infection.

Ring your midwife first thing this morning!!!

I had PYELONEPHRITIS (a severe kidney infection) when pregnant with #2. I thought it was just a sore back. It very quickly turned into the most painful experience of my life. I pretty much couldn't move without pain, temp in the 40's, blinding headache (also light sensitive) & I had the constant thirst & peeing too. I had to stay in hospital for a week on an antibiotic drip & it was a bit touch & go the 1st night as I started to contract (I was 30 weeks).

A very scary experience

Please get checked out & let us know how you go.
