Blood showing up in urine sample

Hi, I'm new here and would really appreciate any comments/experience!

I'm around 12 weeks pregnant and went to see a nurse at the hospital over the weekend with really sharp pains in my lower tummy. I haven't had any vaginal bleeding but my urine sample did show blood, which the nurse seemed concerned about. She advised me to see my GP and take another sample- she said it could be something as simple as something being inflamed, signs that my body was struggling with the pregnancy or something 'more serious'. She has booked me in for a scan this week to check the baby.

I'm seeing my doctor today but just wondered if anyone else has had this during pregnancy? I haven't had any pain since and am still being sick, which I hope to be a good sign!

I've had this. My urine sample showed blood at my midwife's appointment in the morning. However, when it was checked at the hospital later that day it was clear. It could be just a one off like that or it could be a UTI.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and enjoy your scan.

Thanks Marro. I couldn't get an appointment in the end so have dropped a sample in and explained the situation and they're going to check it
