Hey all! Just curious if anyone else is feeling like I am. I am 18 weeks today and throughout this whole pregnancy I have had a constant feeling of having to pee. I get to the point where I feel I have to go so bad (esp after sitting and then standing up) and rush to the bathroom but only the smallest amount of urine comes out and I don't feel the 'relief' from going to the bathroom. I don't have a UTI and am not drinking insane amounts of water (in fact I'm trying to get better at drinking more). I just can't seem to catch a break. Anyone else feel this?                
                             
        
Re: Constant feeling of having to urinate?
Uh. I thought this was pretty common and well known? Yes, its normal. I've learned to NEVER pass up a toilet, even when I don't feel like I have to go!

If you ever have pain while urinating though make sure you cal your OB as you could have a UTI.
I thought the second trimester would relive the urge to pee so much but Nope ! The only relief I have gotten is that I don't get up 5-6 times a night like I used to. Other than that, the baby is lying so low that I get a lot of pressure too. Especially, when he gives me a swift kick in the bladder! I have the same urge to go and then realize that my bladder wasn't that full
To begin with.
Completely normal. Seems like we've all felt the same way.
