Third trimester now and I have to run to washroom every half hour, raat ko bhi sleep tut jaati hai. Sometimes a little leaks when I cough also, so embarrassing. Anyone have tips that worked?
Control? What is that? At 34 weeks, if I sneeze or laugh too hard, a little leak is guaranteed! Honestly, just wear a panty liner and map out every toilet in your area, because there's no stopping this baby's kicks on the bladder.
Oh sweetie, the constant bathroom trips are so exhausting and I completely feel your pain. Please don't try to hold your urine for too long because it can cause UTIs. Just accept this as a temporary phase and be gentle with yourself.
Haha, pelvic floor exercises or Kegels are your best friend now! 🌸 Just squeeze those muscles like you are trying to stop pee mid-stream. It really helps strengthen the bladder muscles! Stay strong mama! 💕
I totally understand how frustrating it is to feel like you live in the bathroom! That little baby is just snuggling close to your bladder, which is beautiful but so tough. Just make sure to empty your bladder completely each time and stay hydrated, dear.
Yaar, actually holding it in is the worst thing you can do during pregnancy. Just go to the washroom whenever you need to, no shame in that. Kegels did help me thoda, so maybe give that a shot.
I used to panic thinking I had some bladder issue because I had to run to the toilet every 20 minutes! My doc reassured me it is totally normal due to pressure. Doing simple Kegel exercises really helped me get some control, so try that.
With two babies pressing down, holding it was impossible for me. Don't try to restrict your water intake to control it, because hydration is super important. Just go whenever you feel the urge, and keep those maternity pads handy.
Welcome to the leaky club! The best way to control it is to not laugh at jokes too hard. On a serious note, try leaning forward slightly when you pee to empty your bladder fully, it actually gives you an extra 10 minutes of peace.
While frequent urination is very normal, if you ever feel pain, burning, or find it hard to pass urine at all, please tell your doctor. I had a severe infection that started like this, so always keep your gynac in the loop.
I mentioned this frequent urination issue to my doctor at the hospital during my checkup. They checked me for UTI just to be safe and recommended safe pelvic floor physical therapy. Definitely ask your medical team if you feel any burning or pain.
