Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
Frequent urination is a sign of UTI as well as pregnancy. However, irritation due to vulvo-vaginitis may also have caused this. Although 3-5 WBCs in urine DR are usually considered insignificant specially if there are no nitrites & bacteria, but, you can exclude possibility of UTI by doing a formal urine C/S test.
Drink plenty of water & keep the area clean.
Hope you get well soon.
