Were your UTI symptoms different during pregnancy?

I've had this burning feeling in my lower abdomen on and off, it's not painful, just there sometimes. At first, I was chalking it up to weird cramps, things stretching, etc. (6w) but I decided to google and a lot of people said they'd been diagnosed with a UTI with that symptom, through the routine UTI test their doctor does at each visit.

Outside of pregnancy, a UTI has always felt to me like a constantly urge to pee, but not being able to, or not being able to enough, but that hasn't been an issue. There's frequently an urge, but I chalked that up to first tri symptoms. I've been really thirsty too, which I also chalked up to first tri.

Any insight? My first appt isn't until 2/5 and the only real symptom is that on and off burning (noticeable but not painful) feeling and frequent urge to pee.
