Title: Frequent Urination During Pregnancy

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?
3
  • 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. Thats 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 dont 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
    youll have that gotta-go urge more than ever.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

  • 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.

6
  • 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 . Theyll only make
    your excessive
