Dear God woman, that is a cracking UTI by the sounds of it.

Tbh, I'd be calling out of hours. I do not want to alarm you but peeing blood is not good.

Does sound like it; tho I have never vomited with a urine infection, all the other sypmtoms ring true. Definitely worth a trip to the docs.
Hope you feel better soon.

Yes sounds like a UTI.

In the meantime drink drink drink drink. It will help to flush it out - but you definately need Abs by the sounds of it.

I'd phone the Dr too, I've had really painful UTIs but never peed blood or clots.

Obviously take a urine sample with you...

It sounds like it might even have spread to your kidneys. I had the same symptoms as you whilst pregnant with DS2 and it was a kidney infection. Very nasty, I needed 2 weeks in bed (I am sure you will recover much quicker as you are not pg presumably).

And don't leave it so long next time
