Bladder pain anyone?

It's not every day but when I get it hurts. Need to wee frequently and feel mild cramps after I do. Urine tests are clear so no infection.

Anyone else get similar? I'm 13 weeks.

I got it with my 1st fairly frequently, and it turned out I wasn't drinking enough water. Don't know if it's any help but increasing the water supply did the trick!

I have cramping in what feels like my bladder but could by my uterus (I think it's more likely to be the uterus as the uterus is always contracting a little bit and it contracts more if you're dehydrated) if I've not had enough to drink.

Only other time I feel cramping in what I'm pretty sure is my bladder is when it's really full and I need to nip off to the loo, as I still feel the pressure from the baby on it even though I'm 13 weeks 6 days.

I've had a clear urine test as well.

Thanks girls. Could be I'm a bit dehydrated, as I've been really busy working and not drinking enough. Thanks.

Cranberry juice is good for stuff like that. I often find that I feel the pain and the cramping when an infection is brewing. Normally the first tests are clear but if not given something the later tests are not, so my doctor now gives me some antibiotics that aren't as strong when I start feeling it so the infection doesn't take.

I'm one of those sensitive souls that gets water infections from even thinking about bubble baths or not drinking enough water

I'm unable to take cranberry juice or any citrus as it's too acidic.
