It started last night. I would go pee, and afterwards when I walked into the other room, it would still feel like I had to pee. I had to wake up about 4 times while I was sleeping and since I woke up I have to go about every hour. Should I call my doctor?

The baby hasn't dropped yet, he is still pushing on my ribs.

Of course you have to pee lots, there is a 7-8 pound baby in there....maybe not dropped yet, but it is still weight pushing down! Also if you have drank alot more than you usually do lately this will contribute.

Its just the baby pushing on your bladder. It will probably get worse. I am 40 weeks now and it feels like I am constantly in the bathroom.On the plus side,my ribs don't hurt anymore.
Good Luck

Welcome to the world of a 1/4 c. bladder!! Yes, it is normal. By all means, talk to your doctor about ANY concern that you have! You want to urinate. You are a filter for two. And, well...your bladder will never be the same. Kegel exercises help...especially after you give birth. Congratulations and hope everything goes well with the birthing and afterward!

It's perfectly normal to pee alot, just because you feel your baby pushing on your ribs doesn't mean that he didn't drop.

yes it is normal, and it will probably get worse!!!!! Try putting your hands under your belly and gently push up on the baby while your peeing, this might help you empty your bladder more completely. This is the longest month of pregnancy!!!!

Its perfectly natural. Your baby is sitting on your bladder. Its quite common to pee then have to go again right away. I had the same thing happening...no need to call the dr unless you thinkthat it will let you feel better.

Even though you havent dropped yet, the babys head is still probably pushing on your bladder. So yes, it is normal.

It is absolutely normal! It happend to me when I was pregnant. The baby is just sitting on your uterus and it makes you feel like you have to go pee every two minutes. It won't go away until after you have your baby.

i felt this way in my first and third trimesters. my dr said the baby was so big and i am small that he was pressing on everything. i had to pee all the time and i could barely breathe. the pee thing got worse when he dropped but i was finally able to breathe.

It's normal. The baby is putting pressure on your bladder.
