Does anyone else wish there bladder would just die?

I have to pee EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND. When I don't have to, I have this annoying bladder pressure that makes me want to punch a wall. I refuse to go on lengthy car rides, and get anxiety if my husband brings up going to a store and I'm not positive where the public rest room is. I'm a prisoner to the bathroom. Coffee makes it worse, yet I'm too exhausted to go without it. Can anyone else commiserate?

    Yes. I feel the urge to pee every 6 seconds, sometimes there's actually pee in there, sometimes just a few drops.

    Inside. Hoping this doesn't stick around once baby's on the outside.

    I miss the nights that I would get up to pee 3 times, now it's more like 10+ times each night. It's miserable that half the time it's only a few drops not a real pee :(

    This won't work at night because of course one can't sleep feeling that urge, but during the day you might see if timed voiding will work for you: making a pact with yourself to go every hour, and in between using deep breaths and ignoring it. Sometimes that can do the trick (or not!)

    It's harmful to hold urine for a long time in a full bladder, but not harmful to hold an empty bladder that's just spazzing because of baby. Sometimes forcing yourself to hold it can calm the spazzing down a bit. Or not. But worth a try!

    I actually slept 3 hours straight last night. It was the most glorious thing I've felt in a long time. Of course every other time I was up every hour. I just hate when you are fine and then all of a sudden you are at emergency level and then you go and its just a dribble. Hate that!!

    I've actually tried this, because I feel like I'm having bladder spasms even when my bladder is empty. I've been having these annoying symptoms since 20 or so weeks after having numerous UTI's. While I was at work, it was easy to ignore the urge and go an hour or two, but now that I'm home and the toilet is right there, it's becoming harder! lol

    I felt the same exact way. And it's funny because just yesterday, mid pee, I thought "wow it feels good to actually pee, and not push out a couple of drops". You will appreciate a good old pee a whole lot more once your LO comes :)

    Yes, I was actually considering not flushing the toilet every time.  Hahaha.  I have wasted so much water flushing my toilet every 5 minutes.

    We've been going through toilet paper like mad too. Guess I need to conserve.
