Ok, a little annoying I know, but does anyone else have to pee EVERY time they move? My friends and mom, say things like, "well, every time I sat down/stood up, etc" With me though, I have to run to the bathroom every time I change positions. If I'm standing and sit...have to pee. If I'm sitting and I stand...have to pee. If I'm on my left side and I roll even a little...have to pee.
Just wondering if there is something I can do to help it? I'm doing my Kegels, at least it helps me not wet my pants 10 times a day, but is there anything else?
Thanks
Re: Seriously? I thought the frequent peeing would STOP!??
This. And I'm sorry, but after baby, doesn't always improve as much as you would think...
I mistakenly got on a trampoline a few months after DD was born. I don't think I will ever do that again.
And I have noticed I am peeing excessively the last few days, so I know LO is on my bladder. I really really wish he would find a different spot to sit. I got up about 7 times last night.
OP, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

It only gets worse.
I feel like the bathroom trips have doubled in the past week or two and I've been told it only gets worse from here on out. The more your baby grows, the more pressure on your bladder, the more you have to go. Not to mention, since I am peeing what seems like 179 times a day, it's not always full. I feel like I'm about to BURST and then I pee a tablespoon worth, maybe two if I'm being generous. It's definitely annoying, but you had better get use to it now!

You thought it would stop? Why would it stop?
I have to pee just about any time I think about it... so, thanks. J/K.
Quick question: have you had a test recently for a UTI? Apparently when you are PG, it is easier to get one because urine gets trapped in the bladder and urethra due to the baby and the pressure there.
Just in case this isn't just excessive peeing and your body punishing you, I would suggest asking for a urine analysis. I had a UTI early on in my pregnancy and had no symptoms of it whatsoever. A routine urine check caught it and once they put me on safe antibiotics, I then realized how frequently I was peeing.
And if you are not doing this already, lean forward when you pee. It puts extra pressure down there to empty everything out... And without pushing it out. If you get my drift. It also helps avoid UTIs.

This is me. I feel like I totally have to go and then it's hardly any. I know I need to stay hydrated but it's hard enough peeing all the time as it is.
I don't think there's anything that can be done... but I can sympathize! I don't think I have gone more than 3 minutes without peeing since before I even took the pregnancy test at 5 weeks, and it's actually starting to really mess with my sleep.
On top of that, although I adore our condo (DH has owned it since before we even met otherwise I might have had some input on this particular design flaw), the genius who built it decided that the only good place for bathrooms was the third floor?!
Yeah. It's awesome when the pee urge strikes on the drive home from work and I get to sprint up all. those. stairs.
It's going to be even better once the third trimester hits!
