I think im around 6 weeks and im running to the bathroom like every hour, even at night. Is it too early for this or normal? Anyone else faced this thing so soon?
I started running to the bathroom around week 6 itself. Don't worry, it is a very common early symptom, so no need to pay for extra hospital consultations or urine tests unless you have a burning sensation. Just keep drinking water at home.
I noticed this around week 6 and immediately called my hospital's dedicated maternity helpline. The care coordinator reassured me it is just the hCG hormone working. Definitely ask your doctor at your next appointment if it's accompanied by pain.
My MIL told me this is the very first sign of pregnancy because of hormonal changes. I felt it as early as my 5th week. Just don't hold it in, as my mom said it can cause infections.
I remember those constant bathroom trips starting around week 5, it was so annoying! Looking back now that my baby is a toddler, I realize it was just the beginning of many changes. It is totally normal, so don't worry.
It usually starts around week 6 to 8 due to increased blood flow and hormones. Just make sure you aren't limiting your water intake to avoid the trips. If there's any burning or pain, get a quick urine routine test done to rule out UTI.
