Struggling to wee 😣
The past few weeks I’ve been really struggling to wee when in need one. It doesn’t feel like a UTI, it almost feels like the baby is blocking my tubes or something, like there’s a plug stopping my wee from coming out & it is SO painful. Sometimes I can be sat on the toilet for a good 5 minutes before anything comes out.
Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else, is it normal? My first was breach so never had this before

@Maisie yeah I’m 37 now, thought it might be something everyone’s going through with how big the babies are now. Just so bloody painful! X
We’ll get there, not long now mama!! X
I have exactly the same! Basically I found either leaning forward on the loo lets the wee out 😂 or if it is still being troublesome try basically standing, I figured this by accident but basically exactly as you described think baby can be blocking flow so the standing basically relived it for me. I mentioned it to my midwife Who was like ah yeah that can help! Xxx
I’m the same! I found that opening my legs wide, leaning forwards and lifting my bump up slightly helps me wee. If not, I feel like I’m only able to empty half my bladder at a time x

How far along are you? The bigger baby gets the less room there is down there so can make it a lot harder to go😭 I’m 36 weeks now and I’ve got the exact same symptoms, what helps me is I have a little wiggle to try and relieve the pressure on my bladder and sometimes that helps 🥰
