6 weeks. bladder...

This is my second pregnancy. I'm 6 weeks. Is it baby poking at my bladder or something else? My first pregnancy I didn't feel this until my baby was already kicking around. Well into my pregnancy. It's just strange because everything is starting earlier then usual.

actually if it's your bladder with this feeling, it might be a UTI..I'd call my OB and ask for a urine test just to be sure. UTI's and bladder infections are INCREDIBLY common during pregnancy.

The baby is too small to be poking at you bladder but it really sounds like muscle spasms. I get them a lot lately

Im at 15 weeks and I feel like I am peeing a lot more, I think the baby is using my bladder as a cozy bed. I find myself using that bathroom to pee at least 10-15 times a day no matter how much or little i drink

Supposedly with second pregnancies things start earlier, like showing a bump etc. I'm also pregnant with my second and my mother had 3 of us and warned me of that happening. I too have been making more potty trips earlier than the first. Hope that helps!

Maybe its muscle spasms? Our bodies go through a lot of change during pregnancy, especially in the beginning.

I know I have a full bladder. But the feeling is like poking. You know when you have a full bladder & your baby kicks....feels like a poke & feels like youre about to pee on yourself. I don't know...I guess nevermind....

P.S. The baby is not big enough to be poking your bladder yet -- it will be a few months still before it is big enough for that.

I'm not sure what you mean? Are you finding you have to pee more often? Are you feeling pressure? Both of these things are perfectly normal. :)
