Hi,

Burning Urination with presence of WBC in urine are suggestive of Urinary Tract Infection(UTI). Due to physiological changes during pregnancy, pregnant women are considered to be Immunocompromised UTI hosts. Maintain a proper hygiene of the area, Drink plenty of water to keep hydrated.
Antibiotics like Nitrofurantoin , Amoxicillin , cephalexin are safe to use during this stage of pregnancy. Do consult your OBS/GYN for clinical examination and prescription.
