Anyone else peeing more in the second trimester?

I am 21 weeks. I never had the increased urination that some people have in the first trimester. But over the past few weeks, I have needed to pee a lot more. I heard that in the second trimester this symptom usually goes away! But for me, it started.

It's not super excessive, but more than before (although before, I think I went pee less than the average person lol). I probably pee now every 1-2 hours and once during the night. In addition, I've started peeing my pants when I laugh or sneeze sometimes! Not everyday, but often a couple times a week. And just a dribble. But I heard this doesn't usually started until the third trimester.

Anyone else strange like me and getting this in the second trimester already?

I would say usual to have the increased urination but not to be peeing when you laugh or sneeze - if not already do some pelvic floor exercises to strengthen.

I'm 26+2 and have had this since 20 weeks. It's getting awful now.. I stop drinking at 8pm to try and help but still get up 4x a night to wee. I'm on the toilet all the time!! If baby kicks me in the bladder when I'm needing a wee I leave a little dribble in my knickers! I have to wear a pad now!!
