Pregnancy and frequent peeing: a reality often minimized
All expectant mothers know it: pregnancy means a changing body, intense emotions... and a bladder that never seems to rest!
From the first trimester, hormones stimulate the kidneys. Then, as the months go by, the growing uterus puts direct pressure on the bladder , causing urgent urges, sometimes every 30 minutes.
Result: daily discomfort, broken nights, complicated outings.
But there are solutions to help you get through this period without feeling trapped by your bladder.
Why do pregnant women urinate more often?
There are two main reasons for this natural phenomenon:
-
Pregnancy hormones (especially progesterone) increase urine production.
-
The pressure of the uterus on the bladder reduces its storage capacity.
Add to that the fact that doctors advise drinking plenty of water to avoid infections and dehydration... and you get a somewhat complicated equation to manage!
The most uncomfortable situations for expectant mothers
-
In the car, stuck in traffic.
-
Out shopping, with no accessible toilets nearby.
-
When traveling, with crowded or dirty restrooms.
-
At night, with multiple awakenings.
Many women cut back on their water intake for fear of going to the bathroom too often. However, this is a mistake that can lead to urinary tract infections .
Our tips for better coping with urgent needs
1. Drink regularly but in small quantities
Avoid drinking a liter at once. It's better to drink in small sips throughout the day.
2. Limit certain foods and drinks
Coffee, tea, or very spicy foods can irritate the bladder and increase urges.
3. Anticipate outings
Always note where the restrooms are along your route. Some apps even list public restrooms near you.
4. Practice some breathing exercises
Stress increases the sense of urgency. Relaxing can sometimes help you cope better.
