I am going to the bathroom every 30 minutes or so, and when I go, it's very little. I know I don't have a bladder infection because I am taking antibiotics for the bladder infection right now and I'm on my last pill (and my symptoms went away after a day or two on antibiotics.) It really is a different feeling, I've never felt like I had a really full bladder with an infection before. But with whatever is going on right now, it feels like I have a ton of liquid sitting in there but there really is hardly any. I have a tilted uterus and I know it sits further back that most people. If it's the baby at 14 weeks, I don't honestly know how I'm going to handle it when the baby gets bigger.

Of course! But you have to realize that it really doesn't matter at what point you are in your pregnancy--if the baby changes position, even slightly, sometimes it can be resting right on your bladder! It's more common right at the beginning of pregnancies, and right at the end, but it of course can happen at any time.
At 20 weeks, I freaked out because I literally couldn't pee! I had to physically lift the baby off my bladder with my hands, by pushing my belly around until I could pee. It's normal...i wouldn't worry.
And you probably don't have an infection. It's all part of the joys of pregnancy. Yay! lol...Good luck!

Yes, the uterus is pushing on your bladder. It's a pain but that's the way early pregnancy is. Things should ease up a bit once the uterus moves further up as the baby grows.
Urinary infections during pregnancy are common. To avoid this and having to take more medication (bad for the baby), drink lots of water and acidic drinks like cranberry juice. If you feel the need to pee go right away if you can instead of holding it. Keep the area clean and dry.

Yes that fluttering could've been your baby. Its called quickening and it does happen around that time. I think I was like 14 wks or so when I first felt that with my son. You may be able to sense the sex of your baby. I really don't remember if I had a feeling. I got an ultrasound at 18wks to find out the sex which was a boy. If you have a prenatal appointment soon then ask how fast your babys heartbeat is(if the suspense is killing u and u wanna know lol). A heartbeat of 140bpm means girl and if its 160bpm or higher its a boy. But if you don't have an appt for awhile u can have an ultrasound done at 18-20wks which will tell you. I couldn't not know myself. Congrats & best of luck! :)

For sure you have to go to the bathroom a lot at 14 weeks. As the baby gets bigger it moves up so you wont have to go as much. Towards the end you will have to go a lot as the baby will be pushing everywhere.

I pretty much had to go to the bathroom all the time from 8 weeks. It just gets worse the further along you get. This happened with both of my pregnancies.

the reason you may be pottying alot is because the uterus begins to swell and push the bladder causing frequent urineation

Yes. Could be the position of the uterus. When you go, try to lean forward when you are finished to squeeze out as much as you can.
