I am looking for a little advice and wonder if anyone else has experienced my symptoms as I am at the end of my teather with my irritation.

I am 16 weeks pregnant and for the last 10 days I have developed systems a bit like a UTI. Constant needing to wee, irritation where it feels like it's burning. It doesn't itch, its just really uncomfortable to the point where I have had many nights that I cannot sleep, I cannot leave the house for more than 10 mins and cannot work or carry out any normal daily activities. Its literally driving me crazy im constantly crying the irritation is so bad.

I have been to the doctor, early pregnancy unit and seen the midwife. I have been tested twice for a UTI and vaginal infection which have come back negative and they say i don't have thrush. They tell me they cannot find anything and basically fobbed me off that they cannot do anything for me. They did give me antibiotics just incase something isn't coming up on the tests but still the problem remains.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar where they are really irritated heat feeling and cobstsnt need to urinate but there doesn't seem to be a clinical answer to it? Surely this cannot be normal!

I cannot relate OP but my sympathy is with you! I know someone who had something similar and she used to use ice packs.
Literally used to sit there naked from the waste down, legs spread, with a ice pack on her vagina to help sooth how sore she was.
It's the only thing that helped her.
If you have a bath then maybe a cool bath to help?
Sorry I can't help you further 🥺
