Answer 1

I am so sorry to tell you that if you don't have a UTI then what you are feeling is normal.

The only way to get relief is to get on your hands and knees and start scrubbing the floor to bring on labor. If you don't want to do that then lay on the couch with your pelvis on some pillows and see if that makes you feel any better. It could take a while 30 - 45 minutes if you can get any relief at all.

Good luck honey!

Answer 2

I just had my baby almost 4 months ago, and I had the feeling of having to pee every 5 seconds when it was really close to my due date, and about the same weeks you are, I went into labor after having a night of going to the bathroom over and over again not doing anything, so you could just be ready to have the baby, but check back with your doctor if it's that bad.

Answer 3

You are right in going to the doctor to see of you have a UTI. If you do, that is treatable. If it is just the baby pressing on your bladder...cheer up, you don't have long to go.
You could try laying down, resting. That will take some of the baby weight off your bladder.
Good luck.

Sounds like a UTI. You will have some discomfort due to the baby, but it shouldn't feel like that. Check back with your doctor, Best of luck to you.
