Early Symptoms - Frequent Urination

Hi all,

I'm probably just being a worry wart but wanted to double check.

I am about 6-10 weeks pregnant (due to have a private scan tomorrow to confirm dates) and have a lot of the pregnancy symptoms. Large and sore breasts, stomach cramps etc.

However I usually have a weak bladder and so urinate often. Since finding out I am pregnant I have found that I am hardly going to the toilet. I was a bit worried as I know frequent urination is a symptom, yet I seem to have the opposite.

Anyone else in the same boat, or able to offer any advise to put my mind at rest.

Thanks all, and apologies if this is a silly question.

Frequent urination doesn't happen until your uterus expands and begins squishing your bladder. For me it was around 20 weeks that I began to go a lot more. Don't worry yet OP and congratulations on your pregnancy. Wink

Thanks ladies.

That has definitely put my mind at rest. Think I am driving my boyfriend mad with all my worries but I guess that is normal especially for a 1st pregnancy.

I shall just enjoy this time, before I am constantly needing the toilet. Ha.
