Can holding urine cause problems pregnancy?

Question

Sometimes I have to hold my urine for a while, especially when I'm out. I'm worried if this can cause any problems during pregnancy. Is it harmful to hold urine for long periods?

Yes, holding it in can easily lead to a urinary tract infection (UTI). My tracking app always reminded me to pee frequently, so don't delay it.

Haan yaar, bilkul mat rokna. Pregnancy me UTI hone ka darr hota hai, fir badi tension ho jati hai.

I was always scared of infections so I never held it. UTIs can cause complications, so please go to the washroom as soon as u feel the urge.

I totally understand it is annoying to go to the loo every 10 minutes, but please don't hold it, sweetie. Your safety and comfort are most important right now.

I used to hold my pee during travel once and ended up with a painful burning sensation. After that, I made sure to use washrooms frequently, it is not worth the risk.
