Is this normal?

I have to go to the restroom what feels like non-stop. I don't have any other symptoms of uti (i.e. dark urine, or painful urination). I had an overactive bladder before, but it seems to have gotten much worse lately. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Its from being preggo. Your uterus will rest/put pressure on your bladder.

    I'm the same way.  I would go to the bathroom every 2-3 hours before I got pregnant and now I go at least once an hour?.sometimes more.  It really is a pain and I feel like my constant bathroom trips are giving away my pregnancy to my co-workers, lol.

    Thanks everyone for the reassurance. I'm not sure why, but lately I have been so paranoid about getting a uti. I'm thinking the progesterone is to blame lol. I'm just so afraid of having to take any medication during the first 12 weeks.

     

    Also, anyone know how to get the cute little signatures to show up. I posted the link on the edit my signature, but nothing happened.

    UTI during pregnancy is supposed to show the same symptoms. So I would chalk this up to the extra water intake and the increasing efficiency of your bladder (yay hormones) 

     

    Also, as a side note: CRANBERY JUICE! It naturally flushes your urinary system and is completely safe. I drink this a lot since I am prone to UTIs :) (haven't had one in two years since the doctor told me to drink a glass every other day)
