Blood in my urine, worried it could be bladder cancer

Good evening, 

I hope this post is ok and I hope you don't mind me posting. I haven't been diagnosed with bladder cancer but I'm really concerned after finding blood in my urine. 
I am 32 female and have never smoked or worked with chemicals but that doesn't necessarily preclude me. The urine was normal colour with streaks of blood.

I called 111 who have advised me to get an urgent GP app tomorrow. I've recently become a mother for the first time and am now worrying. I've read one in five instances of blood in urine is bladder cancer. 
I hope you don't mind me sharing my fears. Wondered if anyone else had this as their only symptom? I definitely don't have a UTI.

    I will be 38 in weeks and 33 weeks pregnant, I going through smiler for 8days now I have been passing blood in my urine you can see with your eyes and the urine is dark red. I was negative for UTI  blood test came back normal. However the Dr just send me home just like that no advice no other test. So when back to hospital ask why wouldn't they do other checks and with my GP spoken with the hospital and  tell to refer me to a urologists.
