Uncomfortable Bladder

Hi guys wondering if anyone can help me.

I'm 11+2, ever since 9+1 I've had an irritated bladder. I've had plenty of UTI's in the past but this didn't present the same, after I had wee'd, for up, washed my hands etc, it would sting a bit, but not whilst weeing. This came and went and after a week I rang the doctors, dip test was clear but they sent it away and found a mild strep b infection, gave me antibiotics but I got no better, changed the antibiotics (both were correct for the infection) and I still don't feel much relief after 4 days of other antibiotics. Is this baby pushing on my bladder? I feel like after 2 lots of antibiotics & 2 weeks, it would've either improved or got a lot worse!
Anyone experienced any bladder pains like this before? Any advice? Thanks.

(I will ring my doctors again on Monday if still causing issues)

I’ve had a few times where I’ve thought I’ve had a uti but haven’t, last week I was prescribed antibiotics for a suspected one but when my sample was tested it came back clear! It doesn’t feel like a uti but like you sometimes it would sting a tiny bit or I’d feel pressure there xx

@ChloeN that's really interesting thanks. Mine started around 9. I have an appointment with a midwife for bloods tomorrow so may ask to do a urine test again too. Xx

@TealDreams I do get mine tested regularly too because I’m never sure whether it’s the baby or something else! Not worth risking it and leaving it xxx
