asked Jun 30, 2021 in Pregnancy Period General by anonymous
I'm 37 weeks and 5 days into my first pregnancy. Why am I experiencing difficulty in holding my urine for a few seconds or reaching the toilet on time? What could be causing this issue?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

During late pregnancy, it is common for women to experience difficulty in holding their urine due to various factors. The growing baby puts pressure on the bladder, reducing its capacity and making it harder to control urination. Additionally, hormonal changes can weaken the pelvic floor muscles responsible for bladder control. This can lead to urinary leakage or an increased urgency to urinate. To manage this issue, try practicing Kegel exercises regularly to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. It is also important to empty your bladder completely when you do go to the toilet and avoid consuming excessive fluids before bedtime. If you are concerned about your symptoms or if they worsen, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
