We know that Frequent urination during your
pregnancy is something that you definitely dont
enjoy. In fact, increased urination during
pregnancy might leave you sleep-deprived,
especially at night, and can make you feel very
tired. Understand the reasons for all these
symptoms, and ways to deal with them.

What Are The Reasons For Frequent Urination
During Pregnancy?

• You can expect to urinate more frequently during
  the early stage of your pregnancy. Well! your
  need to visit the bathroom may reduce a bit by
  the time you hit the second trimester, but as you
  enter the third trimester of your pregnancy, your
  tendency to urinate might just increase yet
  again. The reasons are as follows
• During pregnancy, your blood volume nearly
  doubles. As a result, your kidneys have to deal
  with more fluid.
• As your kidneys become more efficient, your
  bladder will fill up more often, so youll need
  to empty it more often.
• Your ligaments, including the ligaments of the
  urethra, soften and loosen as a result of
  hormonal changes, which makes it harder for you
  to hold your urine.
• As your uterus grows, your bladder will be
  squeezed harder, resulting in more frequent urges
  to urinate.
• By the end of your pregnancy journey, you will
  feel the urge to go to the bathroom more, as your
  baby drops into the pelvis and put pressure on
  the bladder.

What Is The Frequency Of Peeing Frequently During
Pregnancy?
You may experience trimesterwise frequency
during pregnancy. Take a look at the mention of
it below.
In Early In Your Pregnancy
Once the embryo attaches to your uterus, your
body produces hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)
hormones. Thanks to the fluctuating pregnancy
hormones that are responsible for increasing the
blood flow and fluid in your body, during this
time. These hormones also kick your kidneys to
walk that extra mile to remove the waste material
from your body. Around this time you would also
miss your periods, and might experience a
few early signs of pregnancy like morning
sickness, breast tenderness, etc. You might even
urinate more often as early as two or three
weeks after youve conceived.

In Your Second Trimester
In Your Third Trimester
As you hit the second trimester, your tendency to
urinate frequently slowly declines, thus not
putting much pressure on your bladder. However,
you cant expect yourself to feel relieved for a
very long time.
You will feel a spike in your urinating symptom
in your third trimester. In fact, if you develop
a tendency to visit the bathroom more often
during the 8th month of your pregnancy, it is
mainly because the baby drops down into the
pelvis and exerts pressure on the bladder, thus
getting ready to move out of your womb. As a
result, you might wake up many times at night to
visit the bathroom.

  pregnancy, you may feel like peeing whenever you
