Standing and bladder pressure

in 3rd Trimester

All day I've been unomforatable walking because when I stand, I feel pressure on my bladder and end up having uncomforatable (but not painful) BH.  If I keep standing, they come and go frequently.  I changed into looser pants and sat down for an hour and things have improved, but man I have no idea what is going on.  Even sitting my bladder feels sore today.  Not peeing more though. 

Anyone else?

    I know how you feel. I don't feel this way everyday nor do I feel it all day, but I have felt this way from time to time. Yesterday when I first got to the mall I felt fine... a little later I felt like I had too constantly pee (but didn't actually have to) and it felt heavy in my belly. I felt like I had to hold the bottom part of my belly up and it was so uncomfortable. I kept thinking she was gonna fall out of me (lol) because it kinda felt like that? Is that what you mean? It wasn't so bad when I sat down though.

    I figured this is normal and that it's just her position....  but it was definitely uncomfortable. I haven't had the feeling today. Hope you start feeling more comfortable.

    Sometimes when i get up to stand, I feel a lot of pressure on my bladder, but it isn't painful. I just make my way to the nearest ladies' room, pronto! For me, I think it just has something to do with how my baby is positioned at that time.

    This recently started happening to me.  I feel a lot of pressure down low.  It's not all day everyday because I also think it's the way LO is positioned at the time.  I agree with having to book it to the bathroom because the second I stand I have to instantly pee.

    Been feeling the exact same way! So annoying! I feel like I constantly have to go but not much comes out when I try. Bladder infection was ruled out on Thursday, and my doc just said it's her position as well as the fact that everything's so heavy and gravitating downward.

    Two options that might help you--hold your belly up (with DD #1 I had so many strangers say "the baby's not going to fall out, you know. haha FU!) or buy support hose/prenatal cradle (I recommend). Since you're only 33wks it might be worth the purchase, and you can use in the future.

    I feel it through the day too, I'm a preschool teacher and I get up and down a lot, from sitting with them to walking around the room with them. Every time I get up I feel all the weight from baby on my bladder and pelvis, hurts like hell! Had a few BH last weeks too, dr just said to put up my feet whenever I can. Sorry you're going though it! This is my first and I wasn't sure what to expect but other than this and a few weeks of morning sickness in the beginning its been a pretty smooth pregnancy.
