Feels like I need to go but have to almost push it out & change position. I'm nearly 20weeks.

Any ideas mumsnetters?

Thank you

I've had this on and off. Advice I've seen that works a bit for me is kind of rock backwards and forwards while you're sitting on the loo. That way, if the baby/your uterus is pressing awkwardly on your bladder and causing the problem it kind of moves the pressure a bit to let you wee. HTH.

Thank you whatsoever this is reassuring, this is exactly what feels like is happening :/

I find lifting 'bump' slightly seems to help start things Blush

I actually sort of stand/ squat and lean forwards. This takes the pressure of uterus off bladder/ urethra and seems to allow a 'free flow'. I'm 34 weeks and have weed like this for weeks! I'm hoping it is toning my thighs a little at least.. Hmm

yes, I've got this & am only 16 weeks. Will be bursting for a wee but then cant go/only dribbles out. Leaning forward sorts it out, I assume it's cos my bladder's being squashed in the wrong place?

Hi Shelby I have had no signs of infection, so I've concluded same as you.
