Going potty - second trimester woes

[MamaFlick]

Lately when I go to the bathroom, I feel like I really need to go. But then when I go, it's usually a tiny trickle, and once I get back to my desk or wherever I was before, I feel like I have to pee again!

I've always heard it's bad to "hold it," but if I didn't hold it at least a little, I'd literally be sitting on the toilet all of the time. But on the other hand, I like to keep my bladder empty just in case I sneeze and can't control myself... Anyone else going through this?

ME! I'm always in the bathroom. And it's because baby is laying your bladder. I get the 'omg I have to go' feeling constantly!!! And it's always just a teeny trickle. Drives me insane!

I think you're right - it feels like she has her head mashed against my bladder lol. And now I'm feeling her kick up at my belly button, so that makes sense. Little stinker.

I have this same problem and it's driving me insane! I swear I went to the bathroom like 10 times last evening in a time frame of like 1 hour! I feel like I REALLY need to go, then a tiny trickle, don't even sit down again and I need to go again! I drink a lot of water and I am very thirsty so I don't know what to do.

I'm right there with you. It's even worse that I have a cold now. I swear every time I have a coughing fit I have to run to the bathroom because I pee a little every time I cough. Ugh as if being sick wasn't bad enough.

to ask the obvious - are you sure it's not cystitis? That's how it usually starts for me if I get it ! xxx

i had the same the last two weeks. It got so bad i had pain in my bladder and some days couldnt pee right till evening or after lying for two hours. It was like winning the lotto when i would have to get up and go during the night. Never thought i would be so excited to be able to empty my bladder! Did get checked out 3 times with doc and it was negetive for infection always. This week i am dealing with shortness of breath!

racdun did it just go away?? I just feel like I can't empty my bladder, I pee but I wont pee all I have to pee?

Leaning forward often helps to get the pressure of baby off your bladder while peeing.

That used to help but not anymore

I had this... one night I was worried I was gonna have an infection coz I needed to pee litterally every 10 minutes .. then went away ... figured out it was bubs coz had the same thing at work the other day and now hes bigger I could feel him down there poking my bladder. Little bugger thought itd be funny to punch my cervix and bladder all that night too lol.
