went to docs on wednesday for symptoms of water infection, they took water sample and gave me anti biotics, just had phone call from hospital asking me to go in tomorrow for appointment, sounds serious what on earth could it be, this happened to anyone else?

I've never had problems with urine infections and then earlier this year I had two lots within 2 weeks (both treated with antibiotics). The first was e-coli and assume the second was residual part of first as test was negative for e-coli. Very frightened as urine was deep red - my doctor initially suspected kidney failure but as I was well in all other respects he ruled it out. Anyway, I was called by the hospital for an emergency ultrasound where it was discovered that I have a double kidney. Apparently not serious but have to have an intravenous urogram to check it out thoroughly. Am delaying this as I stll BF and Doctor is supportive.
Perhaps you will be scanned to rule out any underlying problems. Good luck - it's probably precautionary (you could always call your GP for more info if you are very concerned).

If they said that they would investigate then it may be for a simple scan. DD had one which was an ultrasound, dead easy and nothing to worry about. I've had a couple of UTIs and a kidney infection about 10 years ago - bl**dy painful things aren't they?
I would ring the GP so that at least you may get an idea of what to anticipate tomorrow - either way at least it'll get it sorted so that you feel better.
