- Frequent Urination
Café Mom reported:
“Early in pregnancy, increased blood volume causes the kidneys to process extra fluids, making a woman have to pee more often than usual. Later in pregnancy, the growing baby crowds the bladder, inhibiting its ability to expand, and causing extra trips to the bathroom.”
Unfortunately, this pesky symptom will haunt you for some time post-pregnancy as well. Try doing Kegels to help strengthen the muscles that are able to hold your urine in to prevent any unwanted accidents when there isn’t a bathroom close.
