I gotta PEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

[stayinhmma]

I can go to the bathroom RIGHT before leaving the house for a walk, and about five minutes into the walk, I have to pee....URGENTLY! When I do turn around and go, it's just a tiny amount! Anyone else? Why?

Oh yeah....

Why? from what I understand... baby is putting pressure on the bladder... so the bladder has less space to fill up so it feels "full" before it actually is.... it also means that it holds less liquid so you have to empty it more often...

I have a mercedes-benz bladder. 39 weeks, 9+lb baby in there, and I'm only up once per night to pee. And I can wait in the day. However, in the last few days I've had really long (like an hour at a time), rock-solid bh. And then, I can't pee. I do a little tinkle, sit there anther minute, another tinkle more.... Takes about 15 minutes to get rid of everything. Luckily I'm back to my mercedes bladder at the moment.
