Is this normal?

Hello!
I am 21 + 2 days pregnant and just feel like I’m “not experiencing normal symptoms” compared to others I see online…so just need some advice/opinions.

I drink a minimum of 2L of water a day, but I haven’t seem to be been needing to use the loo as much as what other pregnant women experience. I have been waiting for the day where I’m needing to wee ALL THE TIME, but I just haven’t yet?

I use the loo as much as I did before I was pregnant so it hasn’t reduced… but hasn’t increased either?

I am by no means complaining, because I can imagine this being quite unpleasant… but also can’t help but think this isn’t normal for pregnant women?

Any opinion or advice would be really appreciated!

In the same boat! So glad someone has said this, My baby is sitting so close to my bladder which I would have thought I would be weeing CONSTANTLY, but it hasn’t changed at all!

I am 18 weeks + 5 and I've only started needing more often during the night the last couple of nights, before I never noticed a difference! I just assumed she's lying on my bladder now that's making me have to go more often 🙈

yes!! My baby is really really low down as well! I don’t understand why I haven’t needed to go any more than usual 🤯

I was the same with my first pregnancy, I didn’t need the toilet more than before I was preg. Even after I gave birth my toileting was no different to before I got pregnant 🤷‍♀️
I never got any bladder weakness. We’ll see what happens with this second pregnancy but so far so good!

Baby probs isn't big enough to have much of an impact on bladder yet. I wouldn't worry. Assuming you have just had 20 week scan and they would have picked up anything
