Frequent urination problem?

Question

they say in your second trimester that frequent urination slows down. I am almost 5 months and I think it is worse than in my first trimester. Is anyone else like this? I know it is not a bladder infection for sure.

Answer 1

Every person is different, what they say is the the average person, but every one is slightly different. Don't get too worried.

Answer 2

If you know for certain there's no infection, then don't worry.

A lot depends on the person and the baby's position.

I had to urinate a lot with my first all the way through pregnancy, and it's even worse with this one! I am carrying her very low, and she has already dropped (I'm 34 weeks now).

It's very uncomfortable, and a pain, because I can't even go shopping without having to stop to pee, and car journeys of more than half an hour are a complete no-no. My b/f thinks it's quite amusing, but it's driving me insane!

It is normal, my doctor says that my bladder is working at about half the normal amount, as baby is squashing it so much!

No worries...

Answer 3

I've had three babys. The first two pregnancys it did slow down some, but with this last one it seemed like I went constantly. I think every person's pregnancy varies a little bit. I think frequent urination is just something you have to live with when you're pregnant. Wait until you are 9 months along and getting up to urinate 4 and 5 times a night!

Answer 4

I still pee all the time and it hasn't changed since the first trimester. I am currently 31 weeks (YAH!). I also have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The frequent urination can be a sign of that so make sure you speak with your doctor. They usually test around 28 weeks but if you seem to be having problems or signs earlier they may test earlier. Good luck

Answer 5

I am left to wonder if you are short which may cause continued pressure on uterus and therefore your bladder. I am in my first trimester with my second child and you certainly have my sympathy. I feel like I run to the restroom after every sip. Make sure when you go you are completely emptying each time. Remember that UTI symptoms can present differently during pregnancy. Good luck!

Answer 6

I didnt pee much with my first pregnancy. With my second I was up and going all the time until just hours before I delievered him. I was still going like a firehose 10 months after having him I did my kegal exercises as we are told to would pee on myself before I felt the urge to actually pee talked to my dr and had to be put on detrol la :-( Im only 35! Anyhow yes I pee'd alot with my son and I never had a bladder or kidney infection or UTI with him

Answer 7

I know what you mean. I have to constantly go to the bathroom throughout the day. It's normal. Sometimes, I can even feel my baby pressing on my bladder, which makes it so much worse.

Unfortunately, this may not go away until your baby is born. I found that it was the worst during my last trimester.

Good luck!

Answer 8

I peed about every 2-3 hours in my second trimester...it only gets worse! I had to pee every hour once I was about 6 1/2 months...

Good luck!

Answer 9

You can pee all the time clear through your pregnancy. Its mostly caused by holding water, and hormones.

Plus you've got all that weight on your bladder now.

As long as you're actually peeing every time you feel the need, you're okay.

Answer 10

I'm 6 months and i didn't pee near as often as I am now in the beginning. I go like 3 times an hour!! My doc says it's normal tho.

Answer 11

Yes I had that all the way through my pg. Seems the baby thinks our bladder is a pillow lol.
