Struggling to wee 😣

The past few weeks I’ve been really struggling to wee when in need one. It doesn’t feel like a UTI, it almost feels like the baby is blocking my tubes or something, like there’s a plug stopping my wee from coming out & it is SO painful. Sometimes I can be sat on the toilet for a good 5 minutes before anything comes out.

Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else, is it normal? My first was breach so never had this before

How far along are you? The bigger baby gets the less room there is down there so can make it a lot harder to go😭 I’m 36 weeks now and I’ve got the exact same symptoms, what helps me is I have a little wiggle to try and relieve the pressure on my bladder and sometimes that helps 🥰

yeah I’m 37 now, thought it might be something everyone’s going through with how big the babies are now. Just so bloody painful! X

We’ll get there, not long now mama!! X

I have exactly the same! Basically I found either leaning forward on the loo lets the wee out 😂 or if it is still being troublesome try basically standing, I figured this by accident but basically exactly as you described think baby can be blocking flow so the standing basically relived it for me. I mentioned it to my midwife
Who was like ah yeah that can help! Xxx

I’m the same! I found that opening my legs wide, leaning forwards and lifting my bump up slightly helps me wee. If not, I feel like I’m only able to empty half my bladder at a time x

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Constant braxton hicks!

I’m 29 weeks tomorrow and they are constant especially when I’m walking about!

This didn’t start happening until I was like 36 weeks with my son 😩

Anyone else the same?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
