Hmmmm...I thought this was supposed to get better.

Ok, so just a silly question. I thought the frequent runs to the bathroom were supposed to decrease with the second trimester. I didn't have too much of an issue with it in the first trimester, but for the past 2 weeks I feel like all I ver do is pee. Anyone in the same boat?

I am almost 24 weeks and seriously have worn a track in the carpet between my office and the ladies room! Sometimes I can sleep all night but not during the day... At least every 1- 1 1/2 hours... OF course I am drinking a gallon of water a day too...

naw.. only gets worse

You know that the "guides" that tell you that were all written by men, right?

It only gets worse the further along you are!

I keep peeing all day at least every hour. At night I have to get up about 4 times too.

Tina,

I have the same issue.  I hardly had to go at all in the first trimester...now....ALL THE TIME!

You & me both.  Not true!  I'm almost 27 wks, and Bella's head is sitting on my bladder...and oMG...every time she moves I gotta go.

It's POSSIBLE that you may have a UTI or one coming on. Or you just might be one of those "lucky" ones that gets to be a member of the frequent pee'ers club for your WHOLE pregnancy. Gee, fun huh? LOL

Also, if it could be a UTI try drinking some cranberry juice and see if your runs to the potty calm down.

And, not to scare you but just FYI, one of the symptoms of gestational diabetes is frequent urination. Just something to be aware of if the symptom really increases or is accompanied by increased thirst or hunger, excessive weight gain, increased tiredness (really? in pregnancy? woulda thunk it?) or recurrent vaginal infections.

Hopefully this is just a case of baby on bladder a lot.....lol Oh the joys of pregnancy! Don't we love them!

Thanks Allie,

I don't think it's a diabetes thing, but I am having that checked out. I had the first half done, I just gotta go soon and have my blood drawn 2 hours after I eat. Maybe I'll try and get that done tomorrow.

I am also pretty sure it's not a UTI as I've had them before and my urine is always really dark when I get them and it's clear now.

It really isn't horrible, it's just definitely more frequent (but then I have been mor diligent about getting in all of my water so that could something to do with it).
