Doctors not taking me seriously

I'm really frustrated and upset, probably hormonal and don't know what to do next. Over a week ago I called my Doctor as I thought I had a UTI. She asked me to bring in a urine sample (this was a Monday) and it would be tested in a lab and returned my Wednesday. At this point she could then prescribe me antibiotics if required. It's now Friday and the sample hasn't come back. I've been chasing all week and I'm still suffering the same symptoms (stingy wee and barely able to pass any) plus more. Two nights ago I had a pain in my back plus I was sweating and shaking and nearly passed out. This was a one off and since then it just stings when I wee again, I can barely urinate anything, it's just drips. I called the surgery again this morning and said I needed help asap can I talk to a doctor? They said they didn't have time today. They know I'm pregnant with a possible UTI... is this not serious? Or am I over reacting?? She was so unhelpful and also said she wouldn't be chasing the lab as they'll come back when they're ready. This is my first pregnancy and I'm so scared of this causing complications. I feel I need to phone back but now I'm so over emotional I can barely even talk.
