As usual, I woke up around 5 30 AM today to pee.. I do this a few times a night. Today, I was literally Pee-Constipated! I have had bladder infections before where it feels like you need to pee but you can't, and this felt different. I literally had to pee really really badly but nothing would come out.
Did anyone else experience this and no why? I'm Hoping this really isn't a bladder infection & after about 10 minutes and a walk I finally was able to go.
Re: Hard time peeing..
Do you have a tipped uterus? My doctor told me that i could have problems going pee if mine didnt move into the correct place sometime at the end of the 1st trimester beginning of the 2nd.
Good luck!
Thanks for your replies
It got a better during the day but I still don't feel 100% right. I have a dr appt this week so I'll be sure to bring it up. I was never told I had a tipped uterus so if it is anything it may be the beginning of a UTI.
Yep - sounds like your uterus could be tilted! When it is tilted, it puts pressure on the urethra, which can slow down or stop urine flow. Try leaning forward and bearing down when you need to go. I had a tilted uterus/borderline incarcerated until 20 weeks and had the same problem. My doc sent me home with in & out caths just in case; thank God I didn't need them! If you find yourself unable to void at all, you need to go to the ER so they can help you empty. If it is a tilted uterus, it should correct itself very soon! You're at the point where the baby and uterus will start to gain some weight. It should tilt back to the correct position!
Maybe set an alarm to get up mid-way through the night. This seems to happen when your bladder is really full.
