Pregnancy: How often do you pee?!

So I guess I'm used to it by now but, I wake up ALL THE TIME at night at least once ever 1 1/2 hours, its soooo annoying and even during the day I think I pee every hour or so.
I'm 20 weeks and it hasn't gotten any better the further I get, i've been peeing this much since the beginning!  I have a very sensitive  bladder.

So how often do you have to pee?  Does it get better or worse?!

every 2-3 hours for me......if i dont wake up from having to pee in the middle of the night i get really crampy all day long, when i first found out i was peeing every 30min. to every hour and within the last 2 weeks (9 weeks today) it has slowed down!

When I'm in the pool or the tub I'm stretched out and she loves the extra room! Whe nI get out she isn't to happy with me because she has to get all balled up again. She tosses and turns like she's trying to get comfortable. It hurts me while she's getting comfy again.

I was a pee-er before too but mainly because I dranks coffee in the morning which made me pee constantly, but not so much at night.  But now its very annoying.  I couldn't imagine having to hold it for so long, you must be running to the bathroom when you get a break.

Griggsy-I think the baby can deffinitely kick the pi'ss out of you!
Alive and kicking also true
I don't know about the last one, I'm still trying to understand the context.

OMG...I always had to go pee BEFORE being pg...and now it is tenfold!  In the night, I got every 2 hours or so and during the day, I can ONLY go at 8:00, 10:30, 12/noon, 1:30 and 3:00  SO it is about every two hours during the day too BUT I think if I could go, I'd go before every two hours because even going from noon to 1:30, I'm HOLDING it!!!

I get the same feeling when she's kicking on my bladder! LOL!

I told my husband that I'm certain that pregnant woman coined a few phrases in this world. Some of those being

Kick the pi ss out you.
(He claims a man coined it from kicking a dog)

Alive and kicking
(He agrees with me on this one)

and lastly

You give them an inch and they take 6.
(He is undecided on this one)

Anyhow. . .  just thought I would share.

I was just telling my husband that I could drink 1 tea spoon and pee 5 times.  LOL.  If I wake up less than 4 times in one night then it was a good night.  I have got up 6 times in one night before.  It drives me nuts lol.  Make sure that you tell your dr though because that could be a sign of gestational diabetes.  That way they can test you.  My dr told me that its common later in pregnancy.  God Bless, Antia
