Frequent Urination During Pregnancy

Are you in the bathroom more than you're out of it lately? When you gotta go, you gotta go – and these days (and nights), you gotta go all the time. Frequent urination is a symptom no pregnant woman enjoys (especially when it breaks up the sleep you really need right now

WHAT CAUSES IT?

• Blame excessive urination on that pregnancy hormone hCG, which is increasing the blood flow to your pelvic area – good for increased sexual pleasure during pregnancy (if you're in the mood, and not in the toilet), not so good for long car rides. That’s because hCG also increases blood flow to your kidneys, which become more efficient during pregnancy (after all, you're urinating for two). As they get better at their job, your body gets rid of waste more quickly (a good thing, because baby's generating more of it).

• Your uterus bears some responsibility for your bathroom runs, too, as it puts pressure on your bladder in the first trimester of pregnancy, giving it less room to store urine. Luckily, this pressure is often relieved once the uterus rises into your abdominal cavity during the second trimester – though you may not notice much relief. And don’t get too comfortable: Near the end third trimester, when your baby is (most likely) head down and (almost) engaged in preparation for childbirth, his or her head is pressing squarely on your bladder – which means you’ll have that gotta-go urge more than ever.

• Lean forward when you urinate. This helps empty out your bladder better. Or make it good to the last drop by doublevoiding (pee, then when you're done, pee again).

This ensures that your bladder is completely emptied each time so you might need fewer trips to the bathroom.

• Keep drinking. Don't cut back on liquids thinking it'll keep you out of the bathroom. Your body and your baby need a steady supply of fluids during your pregnancy — plus dehydration can lead to urinary tract infection

• Skip diuretics like caffeine . They’ll only make your excessive
