Wee wee wee?

I know most ladies have troubles with permanently needing to pee in their last trimester - but I seem to be having the opposite during the day and i wondered if anyone else had heard of experienced the same just to put my mind at rest.
For instance, Today I've drunk about 2litres but have only managed three little trickles. Not at all what I'd "normally" expect even for pregnancy. I know tonight about an hour after I fall asleep I'll wake needing to have a niagra of a wee. I'm guessing DS is simply making it difficult for water to get to my bladder and laying down presumably shifts his weight thus breaching the damn (if you will). Is this a problem does anyone know? Or just one of those things? I daren't go to Dr's to ask because you know how they get over excited. I'm 37+2,

I've been struggling to pee for some reason too, i find leaning as far forward as possible while you go helps but i do get up 4 or 5 times at night in my first few hours in bed to pee :(

tbh I would at least mention it to the midwife - it might just be a uti. i have had repeated utis in this pregnancy and always feel like i cant pee even though i constantly feel like i need to. would definitely call midwife though...

Told MW two weeks ago; she seemed unconcerned. Saw her again for routine appt yesterday & Usual checks (odema, protein, BP) all fine. Just seems a bit weird to me. I know a Doc will just panic & leap to rule out preeclamptic renal failure, but given standard checks being ok, this would be overkill & unnecessary if it's something "normal" in so far as pregnancy niggles.

Ah well... Maybe it's another reason for a proper lay down during the day.

i dunno - doesnt sound normal to me tbh. i would probably get a sample sent to the lab, i dont think the dipstick tests are hugely reliable.
