Questions about going pee?

Question

I am 24 weeks pregnant. A few days ago, I felt like my baby turned sideways instead of being up and down. The change in my stomach shape is obvious.

However, since then there's been times when all of a sudden the urge to pee just hits me - and it's as strong as if i've been holding it for hours. I'll start to cramp and everything as if i've been holding it.

Other times, when I go to the bathroom to pee it will be a soft trickle until finally, it starts to pour out like normal. It doesnt hurt or anything it's just like.. I can't get going, lol.

Anyways, does this mean the baby or something else is putting pressure on my bladder? Or should I see if something else is wrong with me?

Answer 1

I've been having the same problems and told my doctor about them, so she made me come in and test for a U.T.I. just in case. But it came back negative, and she said it was just the baby putting pressure on my bladder, which is normal. I think you're okay, but if you do start having other symptoms you should call your doctor.  

Answer 2

It's just the way baby is lying, very common.

Answer 3

Your baby is pressing on your bladder. Get use to it lol! :) Just wait until you start peeing a little when you cough, sneeze, move, blink, breath etc. He is just getting bigger!! :)  

Answer 4

Probably just pressure from that growing baby, I am also pregnant(23 weeks) and I have the same issues.  I'd ask the doc to check for UTI, just to be on the safe side, but i'm sure your fine...If it makes you feel any better,,,when I go to pee, my boyfriend stands at the door and makes fun of me,,,because it takes me forever...yeah, very immature.
