I would always check with a doctor if you have blood in urine. I can be nothing, could be a uti, but it's also a can be a symptom of something more sinister. Very unlikely, but a relative if mine has been diagnosed with bladder cancer a few weeks ago and this was the only symptom.
Sorry, I don't want to freak you out but it's better to be safe and it's something people aren't always aware of.

Thanks for the replies, was hoping to bring it up with my midwife, was meant to be seeing her today but was told only yesterday that my appointment was 'dropped out of the system' and they can't fit me in for another 2 weeks! Not happy about that, will have to go to my normal GP I think. I have also had braxton hicks contractions on and off since last night and have had some light spotting this morning...wonder if it is all connected and if I should be worried?
Went to the maternity ward tonight after calling ahead and explaining I was having BH, light spotting & possible UTI. Was checked by a midwife and OB, everything seems okay but she thinks it could be a UTI which is irritating the uterus and causing the BH contractions. Had an ultrasound and the baby is good, did a urine test and should get the results back tomorrow. Baby is head down (does that seem early?) and the doc said it is not likely to cause any further problems but has told me to come back if there are any further signs of pre-term labour etc.
