So much water and no bathrooms!

I am so tired of peeing every 20 minutes!!!! In the beginning of this pregnancy and through out my last I never understood why people always talked about how preggo's pee alot, but within the last few weeks something happend in my body and I swear I am spending more time walking to and from the bathroom than actual time at my desk. I think the saddest think is I now think about where I am going in terms of where has a public restroom <_< and the grocery store is a killer cause they dont have one. My husband laughs at me because after the 30 minute ride home from work and picking up my son in the middle by the time I get home I'm running in the house holding myself because I'm close to peeing my pants...I've become worse than my 3 year old when it comes to "holding it" it just cant happen anymore. Anyone else having potty issues..LOL?

 

:lol:

My first pregnancy made me quite skilled at the fine art of planning my day around where I could/would be able to pee. And since our families live on the other side of the state, I can pretty much tell you where all of the acceptable public restrooms are between the west and east coasts of Michigan.

Thanks for the chuckle. My bladder has held up pretty good up until the last week or two, but now everything's gone to...well...potty.

Yeah, it was crazy for me starting after the 17th week. I know how you feel planning your day and outings around restrooms but we have to do it. I go before I leave, on the way there if I need to then once I arrive. Shopping is a really a chore cause I keep going to the bathroom. I always think their security cameras are going to watch me cause they think I am stealing as many trips as I take.

 

You're not alone, mama ^_^ hopefully the babies will adjust a little for you and give you some relief [no pun intended ] for a few weeks before you get bigger!

I remember that was such a horrible feeling for me, lol. My bladder didn't get THAT squished until around the 30th wk I think [thank God I stopped working around 27 wks cause I worked about 45-60 mins away!]. But going for walks, grocery store, anything I had to plan around my pee breaks. We had a beautiful trail behind us that we often walked on, but we'd go in one direction until I started to have 'urges' and then head back. There were a few close calls :lol: but thankfully no accidents. Near the end I actually got sick and tired of peeing all the freaking time.

 

I feel ya! Hilarious story: I have to do a 24 Urine Test today for my OB - so I am basically peeing in a jug - well it's been 8 hours and my jug is FULL! My husband is on his way to the office to get a 2nd jug!! Not so funny for him bc it's 25 mins each way! But I totally hear ya - I feel like I live in the bathroom!

Not anymore (thank God ) but yes, it was like that for me too at the end of my pregnancy. :hug:

 

Hey, grocery stores have bathrooms, just look real pitiful when you ask and they'll let you go in the back. I was in the same boat, I would stop to pee on the way to anywhere. I would go in to where you pick up DS and go potty or stop somewhere before you pick him up. It's not good to try to hold it, UTI's can cause early labor.
