Could this be GD... or a UTI?

I'm 13+5 with MCDA twins and a little bit worried. Over the last few days I've been desperate to go to the loo all the time. Last night I woke up to pee 7 times and I was passing quite a lot every time (sorry if TMI). So I thought maybe I'm drinking too much because it's so hot in London, but when I tried to "restrict" myself to one drink with breakfast I still almost wet myself on the way to work and I am super thirsty.

I thought all of this is just because of the hot weather, but when I told a friend she was concerned and said it might be Gestational Diabetes and I should maybe go to the doctors surgery after work. So I'm worrying a bit now - should I go, or am I being paranoid? It's surely much too early to be worrying about GD? I'm also really tired, but I think that's just because of waking up in the night to pee. I've also got a sore tummy (tmi again, but I am really, really constipated!) and I was wondering if that might be all that's making me pee more... Lol, lots of questions and I guess it's best to just go to the surgery after work. I'm just not wanting to waste their time by being paranoid!

Any increase in urination I was advised to speak to midwife. Obviously you wee more just being pregnant and drinking a lot but 7 times a night seems a lot. I've not done more than 3 a night. No harm in calling and getting a check Smile

Thanks for the advice! I wasn't advised that yet, but maybe just because it's so early. I'm worried that I'm being overanxious, but over the last couple of days I've been weeing every 45 mins-hour and it just seems like a lot.

They didn't start asking me until a little later on in my pregnancy, I think around 16/20 weeks? But things could be different with twins?
