You need to chase this up asap.

I had a uti when I was 34 weeks pg with ds2. I ignored it and it irritated my womb lining, I haemorrhaged and ended up having him 12 hours later.

I don't mean to scare you but a uti in pregnancy can be serious.

Please get it seen as soon as you can.

I'd personally call triage now, they can cause early labour and at 24 weeks you definitely don't want that. Please call now and be seen too

I second calling them now. You need to be seen. Hope you start to feel better soon

If you're getting back pain then yes, call this evening.

Good luck op. Let us know how you get on.

I've had a UTI recently and I was told by my GP that I needed to go back to see them immediately if I got lower back pain. Apparently that can be a sign that the infection has spread to your kidneys which might require different treatment. I agree with everyone who's suggested calling this evening. Hope you manage to see a doctor ASAP and you're feeling better soon.
