UTI or just pressure? *TMI*

Hi ladies

Ive been having a problem for about the last week or so where sometimes if I need to go to the toilet, it gets kinda sore and I have to get to the toilet right away or I feel like Im not going to make it.

Also I have times where I have to go and think I really need to but when I get there there's not much iykwim.

Im not sure if this is a UTI or just pressure on my bladder. I do think the baby is head down as he's kicking up high lately, so is it possible he's putting pressure on my bladder which is making it feel like this?

I have the pain sometimes like I said if I leave it too long or before I go to the toilet, but not actually when I go... which I know painful urination is a symptom of a UTI, but not sure if pain before that and not during is? If that makes sense lol

Im going to call the specialist tomorrow and have a test but was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else and if I need to be worried, thanks

I feel like that all the time too, some days worse than others. I am pretty sure that in my case it is just pressure on my bladder.

But if you are concerned it is something more, definitely get it checked out.

I had pain like that with DD, she was pressing on a nerve
I agree with MamaT, you should get it checked out anyways

I get that pain too but this pg I also had a UTI around the same time and had the same symptoms you're talking about, it never actually hurt during urination but I had a CONSTANT feeling of needing to go. It drove me up the wall.

Get it ruled out and some ABs if you need them. ABs should clear it up pretty quickly, UTIs are no fun!
