Go to the GP and explain. They'll probably want you to do a urine sample and then they can do a basic dip test to see if there are any bugs. You might need antibiotics to rid yourself of the infection fully.

Long term - pee when you need to, don't hold it in. Don't use smelly bath stuff, scented pads etc. Try to pee immediately after sex as well (some ladies find intercourse a trigger). Don't drink too much fizzy, acidic, sugary stuff - try to stick to water or tea.

Trying to pee in the bath can also be spectacularly relieving if you are desperate to go but too sore iyswim.

Antibiotics from the gp, perfectly safe ones you can take during pregnancy. Don't try and self medicate, it is far more risky to leave it untreated.
