36 weeks and not peeing as much?

[Mrs Dragonfly]

I know I've never drank enough water, it gives me heartburn or gurlges but I still try to drink as much as possible before discomfort sets in. Anyways, the always having to pee definitely happened. But I've noticed this week I'm not peeing as much, baby's moving down for sure so shouldn't I be peeing more? When I do go I get bh like crazy, but still not peeing as often as I was. Should I be concerned? Plan to ask my midwife on Tuesday when I see her next.

I'm not quite as far as u, 33 wks, but I've noticed in the last couple of days I ahevnt been peeling as much either. And, I think I'm drinking more, so not sure if I should be concerned or not. Tomorrow, I'm going to monitor it a little bit more. I feel fine, and baby's been moving normally, so I'm sure everything if ok.

Maybe you are just drinking less water which is causing less urination? Try being mindful of how much you've drank and see if it changes anything. Do mention it to your midwife but they probably check urine at every appointment. They could probably find out if you're dehydrated or something.

Oh goodness, all I do is pee!!

Can we swap places?

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

I thought I had been drinking more

The midwife does check my urine every appointment so we'll see how it looks on Tuesday. I've noticed there are white floating things in it too, I hope it's not dehydration.

I've found that too. I've also noticed if I drink a lot in one day, my bump seems bigger. It's as if it's 'feeding' my amniotic fluid! Maybe you're starting to swell slightly, water retention is common in late pregnancy x
