Syptoms Gone

[DSYBAHENA]

My pregnancy so far seems to be going ok. BUt I am jsut wondering, do the trips to the bathroom stop around maybe the 6th week.

your trips to the bathroom will be with you intill you have the baby.

oh ok because I dont know if its jsut me but I think that syptom is gone. How many trips usually a pregnant person takes to the bathroom?

I've never counted. All I know is that I am 6 weeks and it seems like I am changing the toilet paper roll way more now!! Thank goodness for costco!

I didn't have to start using the restroom all the time until around 30 weeks... I always thought that it was weird that people said they had to use the restroom all the time in early pregnancy. I know in later pregnancy its because the baby is pressing against your bladder which makes it smaller and you have to pee more often but I dont know what the cause would be in early pregnancy. Maybe you can try drinking more water?

Found this in regards to frequent urination. I was told by a nurse it was hormones that causes it. Like morning sickness, each person reacts in their own way to the hormones.

"The hormones estrogen and progesterone cause the renal pelvis and ureters to dilate. In addition, the smooth muscles of the ureters enlarge, relax and form new tissue. Often mothers even in early pregnancy will sense a need to urinate frequently even their bladder is not full due to these hormone changes and irritability."
