Before getting pregnant I had heard that being pregnant makes you pee like never before. It's not that I didn't believe that when I first heard it, it's just that I had never experienced it, so I was like, "Whatever." Plus, I've always been known as having a "pea bladder," so I really didn't think it could get much worse.Silly silly me.
So around month 2 of this pregnancy it hit me: I had to pee about every 2 hours. I would pee and then an hour later I felt like I had to pee again, but I knew if I tried to go nothing would really happen so I would wait a second hour so as to make the trip to the toilet worth my time. At night it seemed even worse because I would have to get up every 2 hours.
I kinds got used to it after awhile and figured I could deal with this for another 7 months.
Once again, silly silly me...because this only gets worse.
Now the feeling of having to pee NEVER GOES AWAY! Apparently, I have a head sitting directly on my bladder. Not just an oversized uterus pressing down on my bladder. No, my child's head is grounding down on my bladder making it thinner than a piece of paper. I pee, I stand up and it feels like I still to pee. If I sit back down and try to pee some more, nothing happens. I have a better chance of pushing out my baby at that point, than acutally producing any amount of urine.
This part of the miracle of life is so not cool.

geeze that sounds miserable. Hopefully baby will move soon.
Its funny the one thing i really really remember about post delivery is the first time I went to the bathroom and could actually pee. I must have been in there for five minutes and it was wonderful. I never thought I would be delighted about pee but alas.... its a new world.
