I've noticed I'm needing to go to the washroom much more frequently than usual. I'm in my early weeks of pregnancy. Is this a common symptom, this constant urge to pee?
Yes, frequent urination is very common early on. Having PCOS, I was always super cautious about every symptom and checked with my doctor. Just make sure there is no burning sensation or pain when you pee, as that could be a UTI.
Yes! My tracker app actually warned me about this in week 5. The hormone hCG increases blood flow to your kidneys, making you pee constantly. It’s completely normal, so keep drinking water and don't hold it in.
I totally understand how annoying it is to run to the washroom every ten minutes, dear! It is just your body working hard to create a cozy home for your little miracle. Hang in there, you are doing a wonderful job!
I have heard from friends that this is one of the very first signs of pregnancy. It must be a bit tiring, but it's amazing how our bodies adapt. Hope you are keeping yourself comfortable and hydrated.
Oh, I remember making friends with every single public toilet in the city during my first trimester! It gets a bit better in the second trimester, so don't worry. This phase will pass soon!
