2nd Trimester

Frequent Urination

I have come upon this wonderful symptom throughout the past two days.  Question:  Do I really have to go?  Or is something just making me FEEL like I have to?  I don't know if that makes sense... but basically, when I try to go, not much happens even though I feel like I need to.

Then, (hopefully not TMI,) the pee is clear (or it looks like I did NOTHING.)

On a good note, this has started, but today was the first day for the entire pregnancy that I was able to get a full night of sleep and wake up without a backache.  YAy!

Re: Frequent Urination

  • Sometimes the baby will sit on your bladder and make you feel like you have to go, even if you don't really have a lot of pee.  OR, and this is more fun, your LO will punch you in your bladder.  :)  Heather Armstrong had a hilarious description of this on dooce.com.  :)

  • Your bladder capacity gets smaller as the baby grows and takes over that area. So basically your bladder cant hold as much. And my pee is always clear - that means youre well hydrated.
  • Ditto to prev. posts. As long as it's not burning or stinging when you pee, you are good to go.
