I am running to the washroom like every hour, even raat ko I wake up 3-4 times. Im around 8 weeks. Is this just a pregnancy thing or something I should mention to my gynac? just curious.
My doctor explained that in the first trimester, hormonal changes increase blood flow to your kidneys, making them work extra. Later on, it's just the physical weight of the growing uterus pressing directly on your bladder. It's a completely normal part of pregnancy!
Oh, I remember running to the bathroom constantly even on the day of my C-section delivery! After surgery, once the catheter was removed, it took a few days for my bladder to feel normal again. Just keep yourself hydrated and don't hold it in.
My tracker app kept reminding me that frequent urination peaks in the first and third trimesters. It's basically your bladder having less space to hold pee. Try to cut down on fluids right before bedtime so you can get some continuous sleep.
It's just the baby pressing down, totally natural. Drink lots of water during the day but limit it a bit after 8 PM so you don't have to get up all night. But if you feel any burning pain or have a fever, contact your gynac immediately.
I used to worry constantly that something was wrong because I was visiting the washroom every 20 minutes! Please don't stress, it is one of the most common signs. Just make sure there is no burning sensation, which could be an infection.
