Yep SO normal. I am 35 weeks with #2.. .My son kicks my bladder!..sometimes I'll be cooking dinner or something and he'll kick it and I'll 'leak' :( (sorry if tmi) and sometimes I'll make it to the bathroom and it's just a tad and it feels like I REALLY gtg!
For sure, she could be sitting, kicking, punching, rolling on your bladder lol
Gratz! and welcome to the joys of pregnancy! :P

yes that is very normal, when you get those sudden urges, baby is most likely "sitting" right on top of your bladder. This use to happen to me alot, and there would be times where the baby would kick the bladder and it became really hard to hold it!! lol this is something that will happen on and off untill you deliver. Hope this helped, best of luck to you and Congrats!!!

Yes, it's normal.
And as long as you aren't running a fever, feeling any pain/burning with urination, or noticing blood in your urine, you probably don't have a UTI.
You can try two things: 1) pee, even if it's only for a few seconds; and then lean way forward and try again. This is called "double voiding," and it can help if the baby really is making it hard for you to empty your bladder. 2) Try lifting your belly when you go. You won't be able to move it much, but even a slight shift in position might help.

Yeah. Your bladder is pretty much "squished". They actually showed us pictures in our childbirth class of the before & after bladder. (Before pregnancy & after baby starts to get bigger). Kind of looks like a pancake. Totally normal though, you'll be okay. Have fun...every time you turn around there will be something new and interesting happening to your body!

its very common. I am almost 26 weeks with my first and I constantly feel the baby pushing on my bladder. If you find that it burns when you go or are having pains, that is not normal and may be an infection. but otherwise you are fine.

Yep, I have the same problems. And that is what the baby is doing. My baby constantly moves and its so funny because I think it is cute because most people say there babies don't move much but she is very active. My mom told me to try and push her back up not hard. I don't know have you experienced you doctor do it but you can move the baby it won't hurt it. Try it and Congratulations!!!!!

Yup. Me too! I'm 37 weeks now and getting a little sick of this crap! Eventually you will get your bladder back to yourself, but it may never be the same! Lol!

most all of the time the baby will be pressing against your bladder. It's perfectly normal.
