I imagine mine as being very small and very black and blue. I told my midwife yesterday that I thought Bubs was hitting or kicking it a lot, after checking his position it turns out he's bouncing on it with his head, lol!]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:18:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54816&title=bladder-football#54816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54794&title=bladder-football#54794 Author: Paws

Mine is the size of a pea after my little girl squishes it....does that count? ]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 13:17:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54794&title=bladder-football#54794 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54753&title=bladder-football#54753 Author: Riya

(Jax, what a great tummy shot )

I always wonder what it's like for them in there, they must have to push things out of the way every now and then, and I guess we all have different sized bladders? I've always thought mine was the size of a pea, myself, but clearly my son disagrees!

This might sound a little wierd but, sometimes it feels almost as if she is IN my bladder, or snuggled up bloody close to it !! ]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2006 16:44:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54604&title=bladder-football#54604 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54601&title=bladder-football#54601 Author: Kelpa

Ohhhhh I so know what you are talking about. I am beginning to feel like I really have had enuf! This little fella has been a kicker for about the last month full on (not actually doing much sleeping at all these days) and its mostly "down there".

It better not be a sign of things to come!!]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2006 16:30:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54601&title=bladder-football#54601 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54410&title=bladder-football#54410 Author: my2angels

Hehe..ahh it feels good to know I'm not alone. Millie, yep it's a little boy and our first. His father is a raving football fan so maybe it's a sign of things to come!

Thanks everyone for sharing..no 'accidents' yet though I'm living in fear of our little bundle of joy kicking me into touch just once too hard one day!

haha, peeing all the time is usually the first symptom of pregnancy I notice!
At 16 weeks (right through to the end) of my first pregnancy I was peeing every 1/2 hour. Couldn't make it through a lecture at uni without having to excuse myself atleast once.
Then my second (shortlived pregnancy) I noticed from about 4 weeks that I was going to the toilet a LOT more often.

It's almost embarrassing having to get up and go so often, I know we have a good excuse but still.... I made the mistake of having lots of water just before and during church on Sunday and SHE chose that time for some serious activity...honestly I was up and down like a yoyo and missed most of the sermon....It got to the point where people were throwing me sympathetic looks.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:51:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54327&title=bladder-football#54327 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54283&title=bladder-football#54283 Author: daikini

I remember that... I used to describe it as "Baby is bouncing on my bladder" whenever I had to excuse myself to use the bathroom for the third time in 15 minutes. Both of mine did it... come to think of it, Kiya's favourite activity now is bouncing on her trampoline! ]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:45:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54283&title=bladder-football#54283 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54279&title=bladder-football#54279 Author: Paws

I'm in the same boat...our little girl may very well be a champion female soccor player in the making. I've also experienced the joys loo breaks only being 10 mins apart. All you can do is go with it really.

Sometimes I find leaning over something - chair/swissball or just kneeling leaning over - helps as well, seems to move her for a while at least!]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:36:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54279&title=bladder-football#54279 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54274&title=bladder-football#54274 Author: Andie

Our wee girl has just found my bladder, I think.  After that initial attachment to the bathroom in the first trimester, things had settled down nicely for me, but in the last week I've been needing the bathroom 10 minutes after just going sometimes!!  It's crazy.  And then I'll last a whole evening without needing a bathroom break - very random.  Yesterday I was up town for an hour, and I saw three public bathrooms in that time!  Granted, it was FREEZING, which didn't help.  I'm hoping that this isn't a sign of things to come... but realistically I'd better get over my issues about yukky public bathrooms!!  ]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:20:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54274&title=bladder-football#54274 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54273&title=bladder-football#54273 Author: Two Blondinis

Hi Riya
I have experienced the exact same thing from around the 20 week mark - so much so that we now refer to bubs as "The Kicker"
I don't think there is much you can do about it, now that our baby is bigger I can pretty much direct the head/arms away from the bladder but that doesn't help much when you're walking down the street and it feels like you're about to have an "accident" ]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:16:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54273&title=bladder-football#54273 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54270&title=bladder-football#54270 Author: Millie1976

Hi Riya,
Welcome to Oh Baby!
Congratulations on your pregnancy - you are due on the same date as me (26th October). I am also experiencing a weak bladder and during the day I find I am sometimes going to the toilet every 30 minutes to every 1 hour but probably more so on a cold day and seem to go less at night time.

I have also been experiencing a lot of kicks recently - perhaps my boy is going to be very active ha ha - I am assuming you are having a boy too??

Is this your first baby? It is ours. ]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:02:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54269&title=bladder-football#54269 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2912&PID=54267&title=bladder-football#54267 Author: Riya

Hi there,

Have been reading for some time now, isn't this a great wee community. Wanted to say hello to everyone and seek some advice (if anyone else is experiencing this!). My partner and I are expecting our first baby on 26/27 Oct. We're very excited, and the wee darling appears to be doing everything right so far, except he's showing early signs of football/World cup mania! He's taken lately to pummelling my bladder when it's even the tiniest bit full. And I mean a really rigorous battery of kicks, not just the occasional one.

Does anyone else get this? Does anything besides frequent (almost obsessional) emptying of bladder make a difference?

Look forward to the replies!
