I mentioned this before, but bladder issues. Anyone had this??

Okayy, so I'm 38 weeks and 2 days. I mentioned my troubles with urinating before, but now they seem slightly different. At times I feel almost like I'm passing tissue at the very end when I pee. I am pretty certain I am not though because I always look to see and find nothing! But I was wondering perhaps it is attributed to the baby laying on the bladder as it's collapsing from emptying out, and makes sort of a "thud"..I dont want to sound crazy, but has anyone had anything CLOSE to this, this far along? It is uncomfortable, but doesn't hurt.. It scares me though everytime because I feel like something solid is going to come out of either my vagina or my bladder! I guess part of why I'm scared is because it reminds me of when I had a major bladder infection and was passing clots of blood/tissue through my urethra and it's a similar feeling like it's about to happen, except without the stinging or excruciating pain... [but of course it doesn't ever happen..]. Am I sounding totally nuts or has anyone felt anything like this at all?

Last week I was hospitalized with kidney stones which started out with weird urination.  Just watch that you don't start developing anything painful with urination or back pain, as that could be a sign.

I'm only about to be 21 weeks and I think I've been experiencing something similar to you.

I get back  to back bladder infections that have been brought on by pregnancy unfortunatly, so the "Passing of Clots" feeling has happened to me multiple times.
But this mostly happens in the morning with me.

My bladder is SO FULL and when I finally empty myself, I feel like everything inside me just drops down to my pelvis and it's very uncomfortable and sometimes it's a lil painful.

I'm not sure what exactly my body's issue is... but this has been going on for the past week.

I'm sure it's just the baby's pressure on everything that's causing it.

Oh, exciting news! Lol. He's been steadily dropping since 34 weeks, and that was.. well, 4 weeks ago. I've been 1 cm and "thinned out" [he didn't say how much or anything] for two weeks now! I'm hoping it's gettin real close! :)

I am 35.3weeks and am having the same thing. My doctor said I may just be really close to having the baby it is something that happens as the baby is moving down.
